The problem is that every git UI I've tried of the past ~10 years abstracts core concepts in order to (try to) simplify things, then people make a mess and don't have the slightest clue why or how to fix it. The git CLI for the vast majority of things isn't difficult once you have a basic understanding of DVCS. 95% of the time fetch, pull, push, checkout and commit are all you need. I admit that Hg had a far nicer an more consistent CLI, and it was my preference back in the day. But it lost for a few reasons - one of which was that it made the 90% easier, but the 10% far harder.
