Those are 2 hops as opposed to editing and applying the changes from a single interface. With git, assuming you are talking about an online repo, there is always the worry of accidentally leaking credentials etc. Though I assume the project mentioned here is all local so the compose files will be saved in a local directory. I suppose the two methods (CLI and GUI) don't make much difference but they appeal to different users, maybe even different occasions for the power user.
