A lot of people want to use powerful tools but want it through an iPad-ish interface. If I'm using a space-rocket to get to the moon, I'm certainly going to learn how this shit is working and not fooling myself that if I just know what the buttons should do,I understand the system.

GIT is marvelous if you understand the data-structures, people are too fixated on the commands and think everyone one of them is like magic, but all those commands just function on a handful of data structures. (though some of the commands are not always intuitively named)
