The problem is that various organizations have actual guidelines about when things are commited into the repository. For example, at work, you're never to commit non-working code that doesn't pass unit tests. Often while doing development, there are incremental changes to test before you get to a point where everything is "commitable".
Also, some organizations don't use version control, and regardless of my, or your opinion, that is simply the way of the world. Lecturing them on how they need it is not the way to make them happy. Instead, I'd rather have a tool, i.e. Textmate, that bends to my needs, rather than dictating them.
