"Remember you aren't the universal use case."
Just because something failed for you, doesn't mean it failed for everyone. One of the author's main points is talking about GIT GUI's, which I think is his/her primary problem. Terminal based programs, nmap, git, gcc, emacs, vim, etc. Don't lend themselves to GUI-ization easily. To attempt to categorize their vast functionality in terms of drop down, or pop up menus and buttons is largely an exercise in futility.
Personally, I'm more excited to see a blog post from the author working on a headless server for the first time. I think he could give a wonderful review of the Bourne Again Shell.
