The thing that CLI have over GUI is programmability, which for programmers is a valuable property. As for me, any repeatable task, I automate away with various degree of effort and quality. If I find myself needing a particular set of commands and flag, I create an alias, a function, or a shell script for that, like `flac2mp3.sh` instead of hunting down through the shell history. For most vcs tutorial, they don't often use why the history of changes is important, instead focusing on a set of usual commands. Why, not how. Once you have that philosophy down, the tool usage become much more efficient.
