I'm confident that I understand git better than most people and I highly suggest people use a GUI instead of command line. Git is visual. You simply can't work efficiently from the command line. If you doubt that, we should do a comparison sometime.

You simply can't work efficiently from the command line.

Bold statement. How did you come to reach your confident understand of Git?

I should rephrase: You simply can't work AS efficiently from the command line than from a good GUI. By nature, git is visual because it's a tree structure. And I came to that conclusion by comparing my workflow with other peoples' workflows.
