I found this to be true for a long time, but these days you have something like Fork which is much lore user friendly and FAST! We used to use Sourcetree, which is an abomination in comparison.

I always use(d) the terminal, but Fork is the first time I am considering using a GUI as my main tool.

Granted I haven't had to do anything complicated yet with it, so I don't know if it supports it, but I love it for the basic day-to-day tasks that I do 100's of times a week.

Also, GitUp (don't know the state of development now, though). Blazingly fast (but not on big repos with years and years of history), almost everything is done via keyboard shortcuts, allows scenarios like "oh, just mov this commit down, this comit up, squash these two, and re-write the commit message" in 5 seconds tops

Fork is fantastic, plus it’s nice to have a piece of quality software that doesn’t require a subscription. That said, if they released a new major version I would likely pay for it because I’ve been very happy.

Fork is amazing, paid user here. We used to be on SourceTree but found out the hard way that it's a massive CPU hog, especially after being open for a long time (at least on Mac OS).

I'll have to give it a try - I'm not opposed to GUIs, I've just had consistently bad experiences :)

And agreed on Sourcetree. It started out promising, but oof. Not any more.
