Lol if an employer can’t have an intelligent discussion about user friendly interface design I’m happy to not work for them.

Every interview I’ve ever been in there’s been some moment where I say ‘yeah I don’t remember that specific command, but conceptually you need to do this and that, if you want I can look up the command’ and they always say something along the lines of ‘oh no, yeah, that makes conceptual sense don’t worry about it, this isn’t a memory test’.

For a lot of experienced people, command line tools are user friendly interface design.

Command line tools can be, git’s interface is not. There would not be million memes about exiting vim if it was.

These things are not related. Git uses the system default editor, which is exactly what a cli program dropping you into an editor should use. If that’s Vim and you don’t like that, you need to configure your system or take it up with your distro maintainers.
