I love git and prefer it to svn, but he's right. It succeeds in power and usefulness, but utterly fails in the complexity department. Someday, someone who understands the virtue of simplicity and can control their "how dare you insult my favorite tool" response will take this criticism to heart and rework git (or at least, re-porcelain it).
I think the re-porcelain option is really the most viable option here, for those who complain about git's arcane invocation. So many Git commands actually do two or three different things depending on invocation.
