I still feel like detailed commit messages and fine grained commits are just too much busy work. I think that there must be a better, more automatic way. I'd love to start with a system that just let you easily drag back and forth history. I feel like the future may well still be built on top of git, but I don't think that we need to be so meticulous with our code.


I'm going to guess that you mainly use version control for your own projects or in a small team of 2.

While the idea of a "Time Machine" style history is probably quite desirable when working on your own, it's totally useless for practice of checking in self contained "features", having them reviewed and potentially rolling them back even after many other "features" have been added that you want to keep.
