In any project above a handful of developers, learning the conventions 
and expectations of the community is always going to be far more 
complicated than learning how to use the actual tools in question. We 
should definitely choose a tool that is *easy to use*, and easy to 
authenticate on (but not so easy it fills up with spam, like the current 
one), but saying that developers will struggle to use anything other 
than the One True Website is frankly insulting to the intelligence of 
the average developer.
