I mostly feel the same. I don't like to customize my editor too much because:
1. That adds a lot of friction if you want to try out another editor
2. When it breaks, fixing things is not always easy. There are millions of git CLI users; you are probably the only one with your particular editor setup.
3. When I'm pairing with another developer, I don't want to be helpless when using their machine because they don't have the same intricate editor setup as me (or vice-versa)
There are a few things I use a Git GUI for, like staging/discarding chunks, or getting a nice graphical diff.
