Agree. If it's not part of the IDE I am using, prefer a terminal window.
Even if it is in the IDE, in most cases, use the terminal.
Unless some functionality is adding value, like getting a git log for the current file, or in-place git blame, or even for a specific line, which would be considerably longer commands to type and IDEs tend to give output with colours and hyperlinks to corresponding commits, which make stuff faster rather than slower (unlike in case of simple commit/stage/push commands).
