My issue with just saying 'git gud' is that it doesn't help the person. I have no more than a few hours a week to play anymore which makes 'gitting gud' much harder.
That said I have had a massive change of tactics. I now only go to low/hi res and use the police presence to help whittle down wanted targets (and effectively kill steal from the fuzz - and in a hi-res can still make 2-2.5 mill an hour), I no longer answer distress calls and wont go into USS's greater then threat 1. My combat skill is not 'gud' enough, I recognise that, so I take advantage of the information and resources I am presented with to make an informed decision as to whether or not to go in.
However I have watched many of the combat video's people have made and I just can't do what they do. I am not a combat pilot, I have trouble thinking about what I am attacking, where it is, where I am, setting power distributor right, balancing multiple thruster vectors, keeping in the blue zone, turning at the right time, using the right weapons, switching between weapon groups and so on. Some people can process that much information - good for them - but many people can't and only want the game to be somewhere to unwind and relax after a stressful day at work - not a second job in its own right.
My main thought is that just saying 'git gud' isn't helpful to anyone, pointing them in a different direction or explaining different tactics that can help them improve or, like me, work within their limitations is a much better response (even if they are just whining). It is less aggressive and much more supportive. Of course the other option is to ignore them - some people like to whine because they know people will react and get off on it. Deny them with either a constructive response or none at all and they will probably go away. I get the feeling many are whining through frustration so giving them some simple options could get a few back to enjoying the game.

For anyone who didn't know, you can unlock multiple levels of upgrades with Felicity Farseer by handing in exploration data at her base. I popped out 1,000Ly in my Asp on Sunday and took an hour out and and and hour back - discovered a few worlds - and unlocked all upgrades to level 3 straight away.
