Nah. It's a UI issue. Even when you know the primitives, the counterintuitive randomness of what is a command vs. what is a switch on a different command vs. something that can be done in three different ways using different combinations of commands and switches makes it a clusterfuck to interface with until you memorize everything. Contrast to something like mercurial where once you know the concept, you either know how to do it, or you know the command that will give you the help for how to do it. It's generally not going to be some switch on an unrelated command because the UI was actually designed and not simply cobbled together.
