It is fully described in the Emacs manual.
If you need to work with several different VCSes, VC is a better
alternative, as it strives to present a unified UI for all the VCSes
it supports, from the now ancient RCS, via CVS and Subversion, all the
way to Git and Mercurial.

Magit has a very different, unique UI that could be more convenient to
some/many people who want to use only Git. Which is why we want it to
be part of the Emacs core.
