I mean, the latter is huge. I felt a certain bravado in uni for always using the cli that I see among other HNers. As I get older, I couldn't give less of a damn. Scrolling manpages to find an re-remember the unintuitive cli arg I need vs just clicking a button that does it? I prefer the latter. The former is always available if I need it. The few times I have to drop into cli git are the things I always have to look up anyways, like git-reflog.
