> artist should use any of the nice frontends that work on top of git and hide its verbosity.
Right up until something goes fucky. You know how many times I got messaged by someone dealing with vcs going wrong for them at a late hour in the evening? If I had a nickel for every time, I wouldn't be rich, but it probably would have bought me a gallon of gas.
It's not the verbosity strictly speaking. It is the minimal level of abstraction between you and the vcs and it can hardly be helped by a 'nice frontend' when things go wrong. And they will; they always do.
I don't understand - you arguing that artists should learn to use cli? if so, "programmish" git output is not a problem, because they already not just artist, they learned git.
But, for me this looks like this - if artist need to go to cli to solve some error, then this is bug or leaky abstraction in GUI client.
