> I also do this regularly, but on my terminal. I don't feel like I'm fighting the git tools. Is this a common experience?

Trying to stash some of the changes is pretty annoying, yes. New files don't want to cooperate with stashing, and there's no way to stash just staged things like making a commit; you have to use -p.

You have to do it in two steps with --keep-index.

Or use magit that has a stash index option.

I used this feature enough that I forgot/never even knew that it wasn't built in to git-stash.
