The problem with graphical tools is that they hide complexity from the user, which in some cases is only possibly/good if the user has understood the underlying principles already. Also I think that there are many things which can be done much quicker using a command-line than any gui (as all of the people here will agree). Git is not Time-Machine (this thing from Apple). It is also no good idea to try to view git from a svn's point of view, or try to compare commands. It took me a while to get over that and accept that git is different. I was frustated (and still am sometimes) but i finally understood the whole concept. About screencasts: I haven't watched that many screencasts in general, but I can hardly imagine that they are better way of teaching things than reading a manual. Watching someone type in commands, hitting "Pause", then trying it myself doesn't seem more intuitive to me than just reading a manual and typing the commands given in regular intervals. Maybe someone can enlighten me about the use of screencasts (in a command-line environment).
