I'm not sure I know of another command with as many options and sub-commands as git. Prior to magit, I spent a lot of time skimming through the git help or man git-*. The challenge with git is that 99% of the time, you just have a very few set of commands to remember, but when you need something from that other 1%, you can never remember the details. With magit, i get sufficient summary/prompts to make this realtively easy. I'm not sure how easily you could do a git interface based around dired-style UI design which provides much more than the vc-* interface already provides.
