It looks like it's a pretty common question :). I already answered on that question above.
For me SourceTree is slow and consumes a lot of memory. A good UI, but lean and fast would be a great improvement!
i have been using GitBox ( http://gitboxapp.com ) for quite awhile now, but it seems like it doesn't get much in the way of updates, so i tried this. Very first thing it does is write a file called "gitclient.log" to my home directory. i deleted it, and it came back the next time i started the app. I see nothing in the prefs that allows you to move the file somewhere else. call me picky, but this is is a deal-breaker…
How are you using Git in the first place? The first time it asked me to do `git config --global user.name` and `git config --global user.email` and produced a ~/.gitconfig file.
It was missing a couple of crucial repos I need, and I was in the process of figuring out how to add them, when I hit the show-stopper that caused me to put the app in the trash.
The developer says he's put up a new version without that problem, so I will try again.
The only thing that jumps out at me is the visual of the git tree diagram on the left - other than that why not just use the command line? Am I missing something?
Yet another Git GUI front end :-) The homebrew version of the Git is bundled with two Git GUI frontends called gitk (invoked with `gitk`) and git-ui (invoked with `git gui`)

I don't know why, but a lot of devs seem to just ignore ~/Library/Application Support/, where crap like this is supposed to go
Lazy Linux developers making lazy "ports" lazily.
What's an argument for switching from Sourcetree? I recently tried Git's own Mac client and was running back to Sourcetree within a few minutes...
I love the 5-6 seconds of waiting for its UI to gradually, slooowly, update itself after you do virtually any operation, no matter how simple.

Do you really need to justify people making tools more usable? Seriously? Isn't it enough to say, "if there's a quality UI, way more people can comfortably use the tool."

Yeah but they aren't very nice.
