>it's not for Emacs, it's for anyone
Thanks - this is exactly the info I was looking for when opening this thread.
I am going to try out Magit on Monday and, if its good (it probably is) will pass it along to some colleagues. I am very comfortable with the git CLI but many of the engineers at my work are not. Anything that can help me shed my "git guy" title will be a win for all involved.

just magit and do nothing else in Emacs. That is perfectly valid...
Valid but stupid. Don't carry both an Android and an IPhone. Choose one and get good at it.
Is that why only use applications written for CPython and not the JVM, .NET CLR, nor V8?
There may be valid reasons to only ever have one type of runtime installed, but most people aren't that fuzzy about the compilation target of the programs they use, as long as it runs and is relatively easy to install.
You don't have to be an Emacs user to use applications written for Emacs. You can use just that application (in this case Magit) and do nothing else in Emacs. That is a perfectly valid use case -- Emacs is closer to a Lisp VM than a text editor.
