I do have a huge ego, but I'll claim it's a total coincidence that I use CLI git.

My main reason to use mostly CLI is the better error messages I get when something goes wrong.

My secondary reason is that my preferred GUI tools for git didn't used to have support for operations I do often such as 'cherry-pick' and 'rebase'. I think that is mostly solved now, but my habits change slow and I'm used to the CLI.

Haha fair. My experience though, is that cherry picking is easily done in gui and I've honestly never attempted on cli because it only takes me three clicks in Fork

Yeah. Cherry pick was the killer feature for CLI back when I was forming habits. Seems like it's built into most tools now, which is really nice.
