I learnt git on Windows under MinGW with git gui and gitk, quite successfully. In fact the visualisation of branches in particular was very helpful. And I still use git gui for fetches, merges, commits and branches. I still use gitk to visualise the overall branch structure, to browse commits, to cherry-pick and to reset - much easier to see exactly what you are doing and to avoid mistakes. I use command line just for pushing and rebasing, and git am and git apply for downloaded or emailed patches. I do exactly the same even when working under Linux (although this happens rather rarely nowadays).
It is quite hard to remember all the command line options at my age :( so for me a gui is very helpful.
