If you know git cli very well, most of the stuff are straight forward. Most people struggle with git if they have not spent the time to understand how it works.

But there is one thing I believe is still not-very-smooth in the git cli: splitting hunks.

if I do interactive add in git, and I get small hunk that adds a line, deletes a line, adds another line, and deletes a line, then if I want to include only the addition of the second line, it is pretty annoying in git cli. In magit, it is basically selecting the line and pressing "s".

Agree. I always use either gitk or sublime merge for dealing with hunks. Diffs too.
