Yes, the point of Gitbox is to hide the details but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I've had to teach plenty of people how to properly merge files using Git and no one has ever said "oh that makes sense". If a tool can hide the ugliness of merging conflicting files, even a little, it'll help a ton of people get used to using Git.
