Agreed. We could the git example a step further and define an alias for it and make 'git che[tab] master' 'git c master'. With an alias as shell level we could even make it 'gc master'.
But the real benefits lie in automation of tasks like git-flow allows you to. Sure, it's theoretically possible for GUIs to provide interfaces that allow a similar level of customization and automation, but I can't think of a good example.

I could make a one-keystroke shortcut on the GUI too using AutoHotKey, but I wouldn't because of the usual problems and restrictions (Having to do it, having to maintain these for all your computers, having clashes with other programs...)
