You might want to try using, well, basically any other distributed VCS
(e.g. Monotone, Mercurial or Bazaar). You'll discover that Git has a
horrible and confusing UI compared to almost all the others (*), and
that the others can do all the really useful stuff that Git does.

Sure, Git might be better than SVN, CVS and SourceSafe. That's like
saying that Perl is better than shell script.
