Don't hope for git to become something else. Something else will be something else.
In reality, git is actually far from ideal tool, with its own weak points and use-case scenarios which it simply not or badly supports. So it's never "just you" don't feel bad that it's "hard." On top of this, even the scenarios that it supposedly "good" supports demand sometimes totally "illogical" combination of the names and parameters.
git is used in spite of its flaws for different reasons. Some actions are really very fast, faster than by the competition. Sometimes that is a reason enough. Another is -- we have to use what our colleagues use. Even another: once you become familiar with it, even if you were aware of the weirdness, it can stop annoying you. Still to be able to realistically compare it with something else, you have to at least try it. And that something else too.
