    One of my developer interns only ever uses the visual Git plugin in IntelliJ. It seems to work for him, but I can’t figure it out at all for the life of me; something about the visuals made it so difficult for me to parse. I’ll stick to my terminal, thanks.

      I prefer a GUI for most stuff. They’re way more discoverable, you don’t have to memorize cryptic flags, and the mouse is just the more efficient input device to me.

      Still I can use a terminal if I have to, that’s just part of the job to me.

      Sometimes the brain just needs a big button. Other times the button is confusing even though it says exactly what it does.
