Re:What makes Git so hard to use?

The Jetbrains IDEs work in a generic VCS way that doesn't match how git works which makes you productive but removed from how git actually works. I've found vscode IDE is just as easy to use, but the GUI matches git very closely so you learn how git works which makes switching command line git relatively easy.

That depends on if you use the 'VCS' menu commands or the 'Git' menu commands.
That menu changes depending on what the IDE finds in the project.
If its generic VCS, then you're seeing things like https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/version-control-integrat...
The git menu has options like 'manage remotes', 'merge', 'rebase', 'Reset HEAD' and so on.
Right clicking on the log in git log pane brings up things like Cherry Pick, interactively release from here, fixup, squash into.
