I would argue that "git add -p" is the one thing which is unambiguously better with a GUI.

Scrolling through changes and staging lines is just much nicer with a mouse.

I semi-agree - the real win is in unstaging changes you didn't mean to stage! Much easier in a GUI, because I don't have to remember the non-symmetric CLI command.
