I spent a good chunk of time getting familiar with the index before there was a git-gui, and I can only agree: git-gui makes it obvious how simple the concept of an index really is, in a way the command-line tools never did. With the command line, you have to visualize it yourself, which means you have to understand it first; but with git-gui, it's just drawn on your screen, plain and simple.
