I know that I probably swear in church since git is the current de facto standard for version control but this shows that gits usability is way too low. Why do I have to invest so much time to understand the inner workings of a tool that should just help me collaborate with my coworkers? I've given up on understanding git and use gitflow and the built in tools in Intellij Idea for all my branching/merging/committing needs.

While I like the git flow model, I find the git flow plugin really useless.

You lose so much of the power that makes git such an awesome tool.

Same with every single front end to git I've ever tried, free or purchased. I always come back to the CLI because it's so much more powerful.

The IntellJ merge tool is pretty nice though.

Because this is a quite advanced feature, and creating an interface for it is inherently hard. IIRC, the IDEA interface for interactive rebase ends up looking exactly the same as the text-mode one.

Version control is hard, simple as that. Git actually makes a great job at keeping simple stuff simple, but if you need some of the more complex stuff... well, I guess you could always go back to pen, paper and a secretary (aka: make someone else do it for you).
