Yeah also people get into a mess and don't understand the state of the repo. Like they're organising files without ever running ls. If you ask these CLI fanatics for the solution they'll say "you don't need a GUI, just run git log --tree --oneline --decorate --all"... which is just a poor man's GUI.
