With Magit I've found that you can just be faster. Nicer autocomplete functionality, quick access to flags when doing operations, being able to point your cursor at a commit and say "cherry pick _this_ please". Less futzing around with copying around IDs and the such. I still need to know how to do most everything with git itself, but because I know that, I can rely on magit to just make it quicker for me to "do the thing".
