I use git every day for work.
And you are right, the CLI is quite inconsistent. Its pretty much a requirement to have a git cheat sheet printed out and stuck op on the wall in my office or next to my monitor to refer to every time I need to run a less-commonly-used command.

I agree.

I think they should concentrate on that in a major version at least.

After that, I would love Git to include built-in features now only available by using giant frameworks such as GitLab and Phabricator. Some of them are already available in Fossil, an interesting alternative to Git.
