Absolutely. Compared to other clients –SourceTree, Github, and GitKraken– the UI feels quick, makes me feel more productive –especially with drag-and-drop interactions-, and presents all the appropriate information at the right time, based on the context. If there ever is a Tower 3 release, I'm immediately purchasing an update license.

Do you know if it works well behind a corporate proxy? I'm behind a NTLM authenticated proxy at work and we have problems passing through it with all major git clients. There are workarounds (like CNTLM) but I would love a git client that have such support out of the box.

No idea if it works or not. Sorry I can't help.

(As an aside, SmartGit is the only success story for desktop Java apps that I can think of)

JetBrains IDEs, LibreOffice.

Large parts of LibreOffice are not Java IIRC.

The vast majority of it is not java.

Downloaded and installed it on my corporate machine, and briefly tried it. Observations: - No visible options for setting proxy configuration - No interactive rebase - Dropdowns for selecting "diff" and "merge" tools would expand, but not let me actually click the checkboxes. - Crashed within a couple minutes of having loaded it up. Don't remember what specifically I'd clicked on - might have been the icon in the bot…

Tower team member here :-) We are of course working on lots of improvements, especially in the current beta phase. Regarding interactive rebase, by the way, I can say that it's already on the wish list :-)

Might be too late, but I couldn't find a "staging area" like in SourceTree.

Does it exist or is it like a lot of other git GUI with no separation between staged and not staged files/hunks ?
