IMHO, No it's not. This isn't Dropbox or FTP. Conceptually, some of thing things Git does is are not easy concepts to distill into a couple commands to achieve what Git sets out to do. Sure, you can use it in a basic way, but that's not the point, Git is incredibly powerful tool.

In fact, on my teams, I make sure people use the CLI and not use a frontend wrapper so they grab the concepts before they go "willy nilly" into the comfort of GitLens or another UI that masks their understanding of what they are actually doing.

You should always understand the underlying commands you're executing. Rebase, merge, branch, etc. aren't easy concepts to understand and they aren't easily conveyed for beginners in a graphical tool.
