The interface is unique and takes a lot of getting used to. I did need to leverage my extensive experience with Git and Emacs to understand unexpected behaviour but the fault always lay with me.
Given the implications of bugs in such a critical part of a developer's workflow, can you be more specific?
I mean, magit is not some perfect piece of software. Of course it has bugs, I just hit them quite a lot. The slowness is more annoying though. Sometimes it takes seconds to open magit after hitting C-x g
I've also had magit get stuck in a 100% CPU usage loop a couple times
I'm an enthusiast when it comes to [Vanilla] Emacs. I enjoy customizing my editor, jumping into the Lisp when I find an error, and contributing - though my own config is usually the problem.
This sounds like an opportunity to improve the day-to-day for developers!
