I really think that gitk is pretty fundamental. If for no other reason than the big fact that it helps people understand what is going on. That's why it's mentioned in the tutorial - people who have only used something broken like CVS will have a hard time visualizing what's going on, I suspect, but with gitk it all looks simple.
