Hi, all.

Why git shows staging area to users, compared with the other scms hide
it? What benefits users get?

Other scms do not "hide"; other scms lack this feature altogether.

I feel staging area is useful, but it is difficult to explain why when
someone asks me about that.

See above.

Very well said.  Thanks.
