To get annoyingly serious on a funny post, the one huge danger of GUIs that I've personally witnessed in many of my juniors is that they abstract away the need to understand the tool you're using.

I regularly use a Git GUI, and I might have to google the rebase command for more complex tasks, but I know how Git works. I know what I can do with rebase, even if I don't exactly know how to. If you only live in the GUI, you can get far never understanding the system. Until one day, when you fuck up a commit or a push, and you're totally hosed because there isn't a pretty button with the exact feature you want in your GUI.

Somehow I've made it 7 years without messing up a git command that I couldn't fix in like 2 seconds. I primarily use vscode's source controller more featured source controllers like sourcetree feel overly complex and typing out git commands is fine but you spend more time doing that than you would with vscode's approach. I'm really curious about what you mean by fuck up a commit or push

Try reverting a reverted commit (revert of revert, yes) while other team members are working on a branch which has the first revert. It's super fun merging after that.

(Or something of that effect, can't remember the exact details of that fuckup)
