Commands make sense there!
Git honestly feels like a low level library that no human should use. It's a very performant 'framework' that better tools could be built on. Using it directly is like getting used to assembler.
The git monoculture is rather sad and I don't know if something else will come up to free tech from Git.
I hope that a Semantic VCS will come next, but I worry it will be implemented on top of Git too!
