People said the same thing about “advanced” operations with cvs and svn (and just called their admin for p4 or source safe). But I really don’t understand the sentiment.
Managing code is one of the cornerstones of software engineering. It would be like refusing to learn how to use a screwdriver because someone really just wants to hammer things together.
The great thing about $your-favorite-scm is that it transcends language or framework choices and is fungible for early any project, even outside of software. I’m surprised it isn’t part of more professional tools.

Ok, then make the commands make sense. For example 90%+ people has no idea what rebase does, yet it is a useful command.
People does not want to learn with git outside of what works, because they can't experiment. The moment they will "hold it wrong" whole repo will break into pieces, unable to go forward or backwards. Hopefully they did not commit.
Git feels like a hammer covered in razor blades. The moment you will try to hold it differently you will cut yourself and somebody else will need to stich you up.
Also, "git reflog" lists out all commit SHAs in chronological order. Trying to figure out how to rebase, but got lost and everything seems broken? You're just one "git reset" away from the better place you were in and "reflog" has the list.
