Defining good default is the hardest because everyone expect something different. Even is magit is great, it also requires an understanding of git and emacs. What it offers is a streamline usage of git. You can make things more approachable but that’s code that you have to write and maintain while there are other way to get the same information. It’s more efficient to get the user to read the manual (lifetime benefits) than making the software beginner-friendly (useful only at the beginner stage and complex code)
