What about the third group who don't want to touch a cli? Who want to push a button on a gui and call it a day.

I actually meant to include a note at the end...

- There's no group I've seen of that say git isn't powerful

- The group that doesn't want to use a CLI at all doesn't generally participate in this conversation (about the CLI), because they'd rather see a visual tool build on top of it that. (I know a lot of people in this group; I'm not, but I respect where they're coming from)

I’m in the third group.

I fall into the first and third groups outlined. I love Git, but if the project I’m working on is in VS Code, I just use that because it’s less friction than breaking into a CLI workflow. I also use VS Code to resolve more complex things because I find the Git CLI to be unintuitive.
