Personally, I'm pretty good with the CLI version, but sometimes I just use the Code VC interface. For some tasks (basic commit, pull, push) it's pretty fast. I don't know if it's faster than CLI, but I switch between them depending on what I'm doing at that moment. Code has a built in console, so using either is pretty seemless and easy. If you only use the GUI you won't ever understand it though. I think everyone should start with CLI.

Honestly, this is true for almost everything. GUIs obfiscate. They don't help you learn, but try to take control away so you can't mess up, and as an effect can't do everything you may want.
