Funny, Magit never clicked for me. Maybe because I'm used to the quirks of the Git CLI and have aliases setup that speed up my workflow considerably, I never could reach the same productivity levels with Magit, and I've tried several times over the years.
Magit forces certain workflows because the author and community feel those work best, and stepping outside of that is often an exercise in frustration because you're not doing things "the Magit way". After going through a few issues on their tracker it was clear that there's no place for improvement suggestions unless it aligns perfectly with the maintainers' vision.
It feels very "holier than thou" and the constant hype around it everywhere is a bit off putting. Maybe it's just me, but I prefer using plain Git in a regular shell (Emacs shells are also unusable for me), with shell and Git aliases, and helper tools like scmpuff[1].
