I wasn't really asking how many people do line-by-line commits in general. Obviously it's useful for all the reasons you said. But it's particularly masochistic to do it via the CLI rather than through a GUI or editor.

The hunk algorithm is not very good in my experience and following the prompts to split them is just about as nice an experience as editing files with `ed`.

Have you tried using a GUI or an editor that supports staging selected lines?
