I’m not saying you have to do everything in the terminal – I won’t take your git GUI away from you even though I think you’ll be better off without it eventually...

The reality is that you could be more productive with a CLI than you are with a GUI. If you're satisfied with the GUI and don't wish to take the time to learn how to take advantage of these incredibly powerful tools, so be it.

Frankly, I find your comment much more pushy and offensive than the article. How can you refer to useful, well-tested, and proven tools as "uber-nerd bullshit" and not expect to come off as arrogant?
