Interesting - I see it as the opposite: learning the git CLI is pointless. It’s slow, clunky and it doesn’t teach you any of the very interesting inner-workings of Git.

There are much better things to spend time learning, especially if your editor has a native git integration.

You should learn internals as well, it's not mutually exclusive :)

But at some point you have to teach your fingers some movements that will ideally make you fast on as many machines, as many operating systems, as many editors and as many keyboards for as many years of your career as possible.
