No, Mac-only for now.

#12I find this gitx fork pretty good, and it's GPL: http://rowanj.github.io/gitx/
Yeah I use this one as well. Tower has more eye candy, but I find that confusing, this is simple and does the trick really well

#13Does Tower have interactive rebase these days? I'm mainly using SourceTree right now since I don't miss out on anything from the command line version.
Same here, but SourceTree just seems to get so slow after a fair amount of use.
Is there a reason to use SourceTree a lot? I only fire up Source Tree when I'm feeling too lazy to compose a search command from the terminal. Of course, `git log | grep phrase` usually does the trick but if I need anything fancier (date ranges, for instance) I'll just fire up ST.

I use it to read commit log messages and see what changes were made to the files.
For actual commiting, branching, etc I just use the terminal.

#17I've been a big fan of GitHub for Mac since it first launched, and it still gets regular updates. It won't be easy to convince me to switch, but I'm all for improving tools that are such a big part of the workflow.

Yeah, the bugs (it occasionally needs a full restart) in SourceTree definitely hold it back. I'm willing to put up with them for all the other features, but I can understand how others wouldn't.
Re: Tower 2 Git client is coming
#19I liked the original Tower when it came out, and I paid the £50 or whatever it was since it was so much better than everything else. I don't know if it can compete with SourceTree any more though: pretty much all of its advertised new features are already present in SourceTree, which is free.
SourceTree has a nightmare of a UI. I would much rather trade a few features for a Git client with a solid UI. I went to just using git on the command line, and the GitHub mac app for doing commits
A bunch of stuff was inconsistent - I think they had three or four styles of dropdown at one point. They had a massive cleanup in 1.9 though.
