Git's core abstractions map pretty dang well to a GUI. And the commit graph is inherently pretty visual. I find it a heck of a lot easier to navigate a repository graphically than via the CLI (it can be done, it's just not fast). For most people a GUI works better when they get into a sticky situation with git than the CLI. Automation is different, of course, but it's not generally hard to map actions in the GUI to commands if necessary.

Exactly, clicking on the commits I want to cherry-pick is way faster for example.
