I don't think this is a dealbreaker for 99% of people. I currently use Tower ( https://www.git-tower.com/ ), a closed-source Mac Git client that costs $70. It's beautiful, it speeds up my work day to day, and it's been worth every cent. Open source is great and I spend my days building an open-source mail client, but I have no problem paying for great tools.
How is rebasing? Can you merge/split/reorder commits easily?

You missed the point of the post. edit: When you load the page there is nothing to convince someone to dig further. All it says is "trust us it's better".
So you're basically just arguing that their webpage doesn't have a good layout. If you want to dismiss the product because of that, that's your choice, but I wish people would keep complaints about website design to themselves. They're so boring . I come to HN to read insightful commentary about articles and projects, and complaints about the websites themselves just make me roll my eyes.
So if you are launching a product on Hacker News, it might be worthwhile to create two separate landing pages. Create one that is less than informative/provocative to get the votes/comments and then switch to a more informative one when you have secured a front page position.

There are very good reasons not to get invested into non-free software, starting with privacy concerns. Speaking of which, https://www.axosoft.com/privacy seems to say that the application is allowed to send home virtually unlimited amount of information about your repositories and the work you do in them.
Okay, I purposefully and carefully avoided taking a stance on whether or not one should invest in non-free software. You missed that apparently, as did the people downvoting me.

You may want to rethink the design of your homepage.

As a long time git command line user, I've played with different GUI clients, but I don't see where it would speed me up (and in fact, they seem to just slow me down). What about it helps you in your day to day coding? Do you interact with git exclusively through a GUI, or do you use some mix of command line and GUI?

1. interactive staging and committing of only part of a local change. git-cola is way better than the command line flow for this
2. gitk's tree viewing and filtering options are nice. i usually end up just using tig for speed of opening, but if there's a large set of changes i want to navigate through i launch gitk. also it's the easiest way i've found to branch at a particular commit.
I don't care that it's an Electron app. It seems snappy enough for me. Isn't Slack on Electron? I have that running all day too.
This whole "it's not open-source anymore" thing kind of sucks though. If this is just gearing up to be a paid application then it's really got to step up to SourceTree. I initially figured it was just the rowdy javascript crowd flexing their muscles and playing with things like Electron and that it would remain open-sourced.

I hate to be that guy, but you're paying $70 for that? What does that offer over, say SourceTree, Atlassian's free offering. From a quick glance, they look pretty similar to me.
