That's a terrible analogy. I only use git with my IDEs and only use my IDEs with git (except one weird outside project at work where I have to use a partner company's TFS). So integration makes complete sense. Hell, that's true whether you use CLI or GUI. I use my browser for an infinite variety of different activities, only a tiny subset of which relate to my IDE.
