Fully agree.

I guess my - admittedly poorly expressed - intention was to make the
point that, in addition to allowing "web users" accustomed to using web
forms to do just that, long-standing contributors could use magit and
continue doing everything from within Emacs. So my hope was that this
could help making/keeping both "camps" happy.
