I was on another thread where the user stated that they preferred the git CLI to using a git GUI, because the GUI imposed another layer of conceptual complexity on top of an already complex tool. May I ask what git GUI you use? lazygit?

I used IntelliJ and emacs' magit. I don't know what "extra layer of conceptual complexity" they're talking about, it's very straightfoward to me (admitedly, I knew the CLI well enough before I started using GUIs so maybe I had already internalized whatever concepts they're think about).
