I don't know why it takes that much space, but that doesn't seem like enough space to worry about on a Mac.

#5No Github integration, and does not seem to provide much over GitX. At the very least, GitX does have an inline diff viewer when you browse revisions. In Gitbox you have to click a modified file, and then it will launch FileMerge. Too uncomfortable.

#7There seems to be also another git client coming out this month: http://www.git-tower.com/ — Git Tower
The UI seems a little bit more confusing, not something simple. I still use GitX.

First, it is not a browser. You actually do commits, merges and manipulate branches.
The size is that big because Gitbox is bundled with official Git binaries so you don't have to install anything else. I will see how to bring the size down in the next versions. Anyway, this fact does not affect the performance and does not eat much memory.

agreed. i dont know why one would pay 40 bucks for an app that already exists for free.
