but on the other hand it is more used to new people who got their 
projects e.g. at github.

Of course I agree that it is more complex on the other hand but now also 
far easier to test a review. This was always *very* hard in old days 
when there were conflicts (which was there most of the time when patches 
where a bit older)

I am using windows too and using command line is IMO the best and was 
very easy to set up.

i loved the mailinglists but it was also very hard to have an overview: 
what got enough votes, where are new patchsets and you also could never 
compare diffs which each other.

It is now far easier to review a patchset v13

revitalize for discussing would be nice. so for each review a new thread 
starts but IMO nobodoy got the extra time to get patches svn style into 
gerrit.

I don't know if bug days have something to do with git/gerrit?
