One thing I've found invaluable about a visual interface is the ability to quickly browse the commit tree. Having a big list of commits that you can sort and click to see the diff of each file has saved me on multiple occasions. I'm sure it's all info you can get from the CLI as well, but I can't imagine it being even half as fast.

I guess I can see that. It's not common I need to do so, but a few times I've went spelunking with git log [file] and git diff sha..sha [file] and I could see that being useful presented graphically.
