GUI != UI

parent comment is arguing that the command-line interface is nontrivial, which is a fair criticism. Contrast with 'cp' or 'mv'

Well, go right ahead and use cp and mv for your source control!

No one (except maybe linus) ever said git is easy. But it is flexible and powerful.

Anyway, this whole thing comes down to the user ignoring clear warnings. It seems clear to me that using "force" can break things.

To use wget, I often need to read the manual or look up some notes to get the exact command I want.
