I have really mixed feelings about the index, personally. It is nice to be able to incrementally build up a change, but I do think that it's a thing that complicates learning for new users.

I'm curious, as someone who actually loves it, what if there were just better tools for incrementally altering the last commit instead? I'm not sure that a more robust git commit --amend couldn't achieve the same goals as the index with less conceptual overhead.
