I'm confused. Isn't the JetBrains IDE a gui? How can it be the best you've ever seen and impossible to sanely do merges?

FWIW, I've only ever done git merges in a gui, and never had any difficulty with it.

He might mean that he uses Jetbrains' IDEs with git for nearly everything, but feels that using it to merge things is madness.

It seems strange, but I really like having a console-based workflow with my VCS. I can leverage grep, shell aliases, and so on to customize my interface a fair deal, and the forced interaction helps keep me mindful of what I am doing.

Typo. I meant it's impossible to do without a GUI
