#2SourceTree went downhill after the last major UI overhaul and never really recovered. I used to love it for more involved commits (picking apart lines and hunks, etc), but now it's slow and clunky, even on nice hardware.

Fully agree, they made a lot of nonsense changes, and from what I heard, it was the same on Mac (I'm on Windows).
Unfortunately, I don't really find a good GUI alternative that I like either ...

#4I'm finding I work well with TortoiseHG. I've tried SourceTree but haven't seen any advantage to it. Is there something special which might make it worth learning?

Try Git Extensions https://code.google.com/p/gitextensions/
It's by far the best UI for Git on Windows.

#6I feel like SourceTree actually only maps every Git command with a button, nothing more.
Contrast this with Github for Windows/Github for Mac. These applications are trying to make getting startet with Git easy. If you're using Git with a GUI, that's the way to go, not with a toolbar full of obscure buttons.

The main thing I like about SourceTree is that it makes it easy to stage 'hunks', or select lines to stage. I also like that (as with UIs in general) it makes it a bit harder to make mistakes (by, for example, typing the wrong flag on the command line).
But it's become unbearably slow. I really wish they'd fix this.

#8I find Sourcetree to be a pretty great product, with some negative marks here and there. I use it on W7 and OSX and find the "tabbed" interface of Windows versus the separate windows of OSX much easier to work with, especially on large products.
Some issues I have: - The app does have some lag at times. I really wish the app would update with local changes and remote changes much faster. Commits can also take some time. - I know how to use the application, but it could really use some better explanation/help around some features. For example, how to set up SSH keys and how branch/merge/stash/tag work. This would make Sourcetree much easier to learn for new users.

Do you know about `git add -p`? That allows you to stage hunks or lines interactively in the terminal. Press `s` to split a hunk, `y`/`n` to stage or not stage.
