Depends on the features.

Git has some counterintuitive commands for some commands you may want to do when you want to quickly do something. Being able to click a button and have the IDE remember the syntax for you is nice.

Some IDEs have extra non-native Git features like have inlined "git blame" outputs as you edit (easily see a commit message per-line, see who changed what, etc.), better diff/merge tooling (JetBrain's merge tool comes to mind), being able to revert parts of the file instead of the whole file, etc.

the git integration in vscode which I discarded after few attempts to use

I'm going to be honest, I don't really like VS Code's Git integration either. I find it clunky and opinionated with shitty opinions.

Yeah... 'git merge main' weirds me out because my brain likes to think the command is merging current branch TO main instead of other way around

Okay this sounds very good, so they actually improve git cli feature wise in addition to implementing GUI for it.

Thanks for the reply!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
