What git-gui is good for? Its a GUI. For people who perfer to use
mice and push buttons over keys and a command prompt. A large number
of people in this world (many of them on Windows) like these things.
Me, I'm more command line than I am GUI, yet I develop git-gui.
So I find myself using it a lot, just so I can eat my own dogfood.
Or do you mean Dscho's other point about rewriting tools into C?

Sure, but there's some stuff that shell is good at, and other stuff
that Perl is good at. Forcing everything into one mold while we
prototype new features is really limiting.
But both are slower on fork challenged systems than using native C.
Look at git-fetch for example; my ~400+ branch repository is taking
upwards of 5 minutes to run a no-argument, no-changes git-fetch in.
All sh and fork overhead.
