> Resisting GUI's is not a good idea.

Explain why.

Within our lifetimes, an interaction most users have with a computer could be just thinking about something to cause an action. I don't want to have to see a GUI in my brain to do that. Similarly, not everyone likes having to use what is traditionally called a GUI.

For git, I prefer the CLI, though I use some helpers for completion, I have some scripts I wrote to show remote and local branches with their authors in different states of merge, etc. My guess is that in your GUI, you don't have that level of customization, and probably didn't even think it was an option. That's the problem with GUIs for me.
