    GUI users = low skill ✅

    Majority GUI a weak subset and of little use ✅

    Elitism ✅

    Of course, this is all couched in “use what you like”, and top it off with a general sentiment of how this post is all but useless.

    If someone has to ask you for your git fu help the problem isn’t GUI use it’s the incompetence and/or inability to solve it yourself. Implying a strong correlation of the two is where I take issue.

    My personal experience? A built in GUI saves you so much time like the one in JetBrains IntelliJ, if I need something more use case oriented that is more than the core fn (intelliJ’s does not simply include fetch/push/pull, but much more including everything in the graphic) then I click terminal tab and do what I need. Similarly the git tree provides an immediate view and context of the branches, changes, tags etc.

    It’s almost like filtering people into GUI and CLI boxes doesn’t really work.
