I like the commandline as well, but most of my coworkers are happy using a git GUI, and I can see why: 1. Most GUI's give you an overview of the changes before committing. 2. Most GUI's let you commit and push in one go, and also show unstaged changes so you don't forget to add/commit/push anything. 3. A good git GUI is explorative. Newbies just remember the icons to click at first, and they learn more by exploring menus and reading messages. 4. Commit histories are easier to view and filter. 5. Exotic steps are easier to do, since you don't have to remember commands you barely use. 6. Adding remotes is a piece of cake.
