git add, push, pull, fetch, bisect and rebase, along with git grep and log commands, are very easy to use and exceedingly rarely is anything else needed. Just use a rebase-only workflow and the cli essentially is self explanatory in terms of how your mutations affect the revisions.

Other commands like stash, checkout and branch are equally simple. It’s just a very simple user experience.

I think where people express confusion over git is that they don’t expect to be interact with revision history, rather just inflicting changes onto a head-only svn style repo.

People are mistakenly encouraged to bring that mentality to the table when it’s not useful. You need bring a mentality that you’re mutating and sculpting branches.

It’s like a beginner saying “snowboards are complicated” because they come in expecting it to be like a sled. You hear the same complaints about other systems like darcs and mercurial too, for the same reasons, even though each of those offers respectively super easy to use cli experiences as does git.
