"and you will have no idea what’s happening because [the applications] push all the logic behind the curtain" This is why I decided to use git from the command line. I can't hope to understand everything git can/cannot do if I stick to a GUI interface. Sure, this means I have to spend more time googling but from my point of view, it's worth it (it's revision control so it's the last place I want surprises). That said, I don't find the article's other points particularly compelling. The very last sentence seems to undermine the rest of the article [paraphrasing: "You should always use git from the command line! Heck, I'll even help you with it! But only if you've googled first."]
