IDE git is less powerful than CLI git. However I'm pretty confident that most people use more features of git by using a GUI.

CLI feature discoverability is pretty awful, you have to go out of your way and type git help to learn new commands.

With a GUI though, all the buttons are there, you just have to click a new button that you've been seeing for a while and the GUI will guide you how to use it.
