#2Magit is the only git tool worth using other than`git` itself. Only criticism is that it's too easy and fast.

#3Wow, I had no idea this was happening! You can still back it and apparently get Magit stickers.
Magit is so good that it's actually a reason to use Emacs in the first place.

#4Very happy for this, Magit has been my git interface for years and the best I have seen.

#6Any recommendation for a good tutorial or introduction article about magit
i use sourcetree, and i like it a lot, but with all the positive talk about magit, i need to try it
i now only use emacs for org-mode and this mode is also by far the best personal todo list i used (i.e. if you dont need any social, sharing features found in web todos, org-mode is the best there is) .. so i know emacs can be very good

Magit has an extensive manual that includes a "getting started" section: https://magit.vc/manual/magit.html#Getting-Started

#8Seems pretty difficult to use, almost on the same level as trying to learn to use vim/emacs on 2017, somehow i expected a "poweful (G)UI" rather than a text-based one. Anyone has a good recommendation for a good GUI for GIT, GIT-GUI its a really confusing and jetbrains integrations felt like someone with heavy background on cvs/svn made the interface.

I use eshell and tramp so that all my dev work is from in Emacs. It also meant that git was kinda ugly in the eshell, so that made the change to always use magit kind of easy.
In general, things just work as expected. Bind "C-x g" (or whatever) to open the status window, and "s" will stage changes. "c" will bring up a window asking if you want to commit. "k" will kill whatever the point is at. Tab will expand changes, and you can highlight then with a region to stage just part. (Or kill to discard part.).
At any time "h" provides a ton of help.

Org mode is the other reason.
