That's fair. Sorry, my "GUIs rule" knee jerk reaction flared up. There are a lot of bad GUIs that can give the illusion of helping users, but place upper limits on what you can accomplish. I have been frustrated by various hacked together UIs on top of Linux package management and wrappers around source control tools.


No worries, I understood where you're coming from. I partly agree with you: I switched to git at the command line from tower because I wanted to script some features (and understand the tool better), but having the GUI there made it easier for me to get used to git in the first place. (though admittedly, tower is one of the good GUIs which make it easy to do a simple task, too many of them do the opposite)
