I have similar thoughts to yours, except I exclusively use the Git CLI. I don't memorise all of the 'incantations' that the article suggest are required because if I ever use a command a few times, I make a Git alias for it. `git commit --amend --no-edit` => `g cmane`. I also have an alias for listing my aliases, which I can run through grep to jog my memory. That plus Ctrl+R for shell history means I very rarely type long commands. You'd have to be some kind of masochist to do that often. So IMHO this article and the others that like to dunk on Git CLI seem to miss the point a bit.
