    I use the CLI for simple commands, especially if helping someone on another PC and I don’t have access to my preferred tool, but I honestly don’t get people who use it religiously and never even try tools with GUIs. The convenience of being able to easily see the commit history, scroll through it, have a right click context menu or ability to just click it and see file changes (and then right click those files for additional options), is just something I can’t abandon. Nowadays even the aliasing can be replicated in those tools if they support creation of custom commands so even that is a moot point - with some setup you can be as fast as with a CLI.

      Meh I find I can do 95% of what I need through the cli just fine. Diff-ing can be annoying if you just want to skim through a commit but otherwise I don’t see what I miss by using the cli
