I used CVS and ClearCase before moving into Git, and it took me some time to adjust to the fact that the cost of branching in Git is much much less than ClearCase. And getting into the “distributed” mindset didn’t happen overnight.

I think the lack of UI is the main reason for all the jokes about git being horrible to learn. Fork is a pretty good client, and there are also some pretty good VSCode plugins to show you how all the commits and branches fit together.
Even git ships with git-ui. It’s not great, but just goes to show how well informed and valid your criticism is.

Tbf I’ve been using Git for at least 10 years and I only just discovered this. I think nobody talks about it because it doesn’t show history which is 90% of the reason to use a Git GUI.
git: 'gui' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.If you’re going to try to smack talk like Linus Torvalds then maybe check your facts first
