In my experience, using GUIs is how people fuck themselves, and then I have to unfuck them via the command line.

Git's interface is bad, yes. It has a step learning curve, yes. But I truly think the only real way to overcome those obstacles is to learn how git works, learn all the nitty gritty details, not hide from them.

I use a GUI (GitKraken) to easily visualise the different branches I'm working on, the state of my local vs. the remote etc. I sometimes use the gui to resolve merge conflicts. 99 % of my gut usage is command line based.

GUI's definitely have a space, but that space is specifically doing the thing the command line is bad at: Visualising stuff.
