Personally, I'm not a Git magician, but I prefer the Git CLI for most operations.

Only exception is resolving conflicts.

The most important point for every gut IDE integration to me is that it cleanly maps to the file system and CLI state.

Staging single lines or hunks is also much easier in a TUI/GUI. I wouldn't even know how to do it with just git.

Operates on hunks, which may at times be multiple lines that cannot be split further

You can edit a hunk with `e`. Clunky but it works.

In a conversation about magit, this is comparing jumping off a sidewalk to powered flight.

oftentimes splitting the hunks with `s` is enough.
