It seems that I myself did not realize what a good tool git-gui is. I started using git with the command line and so far have rarely needed to stage individual hunks (or explain the git principles to anyone). I did use gitk to visualize history (especially branches) though. So, to sum it up, yeah, git-gui is a good way to find your way into git. After some time you realize yourself when to use the gui and when to stick to the command line.
