Command-line git Vs IDE+plugin?

Hi,

I'm normally an Emacs+command-line user, but I also use Eclipse or Netbeans on some projects. I tried using EGit and the Netbeans plugin for Git, but found the GUI both more comlex and less powerful than the command-line. I end-up using command-line git in a terminal, outside the IDE (and do a refresh in the IDE after commands that modify the worktree). Obviously, being a long-time command-line user, I'm rather heavily biaised ;-).

I was wondering whether others had similar (or not) experience. In particular, as a teacher, I'm wondering whether I should push my students towards the GUI in the IDE, or advise them to keep using the command-line (we teach them git with the command-line first anyway, but after a year of practice, we may want to show them the GUI equivalent).

Thanks,
