I believe magit underlying ideas are good no matter what software you use, it's not an emacs only principle.
It's just keyboard oriented, text-light interaction design if you will.
invoke versionning (key 1), see what's changed, pick the parts you like (few navigations keys and 2 keys to pick/unpick), invoke commit (key 4) write and accept (key 5) (amend is key 6 if you made a mistake)
It's just fast, lean and tailored. Apparently people did it in vi too. I just wish it was the case in more places. Actually, whenever I write a vuejs thing, I try to embed keyboard as much as possible.
