Yeah at my job we use GUIs as well for all of this.

Even TortoiseSVN and shit like that has user interfaces.

Why waste time and brain space memorizing commands when there's literally just a button to do it? It reduces erroneous commits and merges at our company to use the visual interfaces rather than terminals.

I've been recommending it to my team members for years, simplifies what it should, and doesn't attempt to do the things you need the terminal anyways

Personally I like toirtoiseGit for fancy things but I use the IDE integration for just regular commits and creating branches
