I'm exaggerating a bit of course, but the point still stands. Git diff and git status even with color are practically impossible to read and understand past a couple changes, and if it's across multiple files and code being re-arranged it's hell. And getting a junior to wire up a GUI diff tool to display and show those items? Impossible. Also, getting juniors to commit parts of a file or only a subset of them? Again, impossible.
Maybe you work with a higher/better caliber of juniors than I do. At this point, I'm seriously contemplating being a mean dictator and forbidding commits outside of a dedicated GUI until they can prove their adeptness at using the CLI, which they should learn on their own time.
