The command line is very efficient for input of commands, far more so than GUIs (though keyboard shortcuts mitigate this). GUIs are far more efficient for output of infomation though, especially verbose info like history, log files, etc. It surprises me that die-hard CLIers often fail to recognise this.

And, in fact, my git setup has evolved to rely on magit (an emacs-based git GUI of sorts) for some operations, and the command line for others, and GitX for others.

In this case the best tool, even for experts, is a hybrid tool.
