I only use the CLI (because I learned git before GUIs got useable), but my mental representation of branches and commits is *graph*ical, and most of the git user guides and tutorials I see use a graphical representation to communicate git concepts. I imagine it would have been easier to learn git's functionality if I had an interface to git that was closer to my mental representation.
