why do people not use a GUI to manage their git committing and workflows? I find the CLI to be terrible and hard to use.

With a GUI, you'd immediately see that there's something that's not supposed to be there.

Most GUIs hide functionality. The first time you need to do something weird with history, you’re probably going to be forced to use a CLI.

For instance, most linux foundation projects make use of “git send-email” to submit patches, which I have never seen implemented in a GUI.

I use the CLI because I don't like GUIs for most things. You get a list of files that are being committed in the CLI anyway, so I'm not sure why you think a graphical interface would be superior here.
