You're right, it does. I know where you coming from because i see it often myself, but you should never make assumptions about people because there's always exceptions. Its not that the CLI isn't simple, it's that the GUI is just easier. From your post i think i can safely assume you sit in a CLI all day so it makes sense you would prefer to use it. I spend the majority of my day in windows & IDEs and while i always have a few bash cygwin shells handy its just easier to right click -> commit/push/pull/switch branch/fetch&rebase then to switch context and type it out. Oh and merging, I just find visual diff/merge tools nicer. When i need to actually do anything complicated the CLI is where i go, but generally, i really don't need to. I'll turn it around and ask why, for simple tasks, is the CLI any better than a GUI ignoring personal preferences?
