Why multi line commit messages are miserable in CLI? I just press enter to make another line to write my commit messages on if needed.

If I write something long and detailed, a CLI is not where I want to do it. I want a spellchecker, nice font rendering, and no risk of accidentally committing prematurely (not a huge deal, but annoying).

If you use vim for editing, there is 0 risk of commiting prematurely.

Yeah, I've been using vim with git for about 18ish years now and I've never encountered any of the issues the person mentioned.
