Actually git was developed and designed in bottoms-up fashion, in the "worse is better" way that is quite characteristic for UNIX tools. And the mantle of being git maintainer passed to Junio Hamano before git acquired truly end-user interface (as opposed to power-user interface).

As I can see even if you didn't provide any details about _what_ do you find difficult in git end-user interface (you are using current git version, and reading up-to-date git documentation?), git UI continues improving, even in this thread...
