Parent is downvoted but this seems like a valid question to me. The interface consists of git sub commands and their flags. One could argue that there are too many flags, or even too many commands, but why not offer flexibility when you can as long as you keep sane defaults?

I think that git commit, init, add, fetch, branch, checkout, merge, and push all have sane defaults and anybody can pick up very basic git usage using those commands in less than a few hours.

Things get complicated when you start looking at the details, but I don't see any way around that. And the interface doesn't change. It's just a matter of learning more flags and commands.
