Sometimes GUIs are great for visualization of complex structures.  Its one reason i like fossil,  it has both ways of doing business

It worked, and yes, it was all we had.  I remember being enthusiastic about subversion, simply because it was marginally better then VSS.  As I've gotten older and wiser, my love of command-line utilities has returned, and now I (almost exclusively) use GIT because most folks know how to use it and with a little work you can keep your work out of the hands of MS by running your own repository.

In the old days VSS is all we had.

I agree - there is a big use case for visualization.  Given the ecosystem of Git plugins and utilities, you can visualize the tree without trading away the granular command-line tools.  I have no objections or complaints with Fossil - in fact, I prefer that it uses SQLite - if I were starting over again, there are a number of instances where Fossil works better: I could finally figure out how to (effectively) use the bug-tracking and the web interface, chat, etc.
