I’ve used git since its inception. Never once in an “IDE”. Should users that refuse to learn the tool really be the target?
I’m not trying to argue that interface doesn’t matter. I use jq enough to be in that unfortunate category where I despise its interface. But it is difficult for me to imagine being similarly incapable in git.
Developers who insist that tools and techniques are personal rather than a group decision generally get talked about unkindly. We are all in this together and you have to support things you don’t even use. That’s the facts on the ground, and more importantly, that’s the job.

Maybe not, but that's not the only group of people that are affected. It also affects beginners and people that don't want to exhaustively read the manual.
Should they be the target? Obviously yes.
