Mac and Windows only? What the hell.
I liked Sublime Merge when I used it a few years ago, mainly because it's available on Linux. There were some things about the UI that were bugging me however. Nowadays I'm pretty happy with Fork (available for Windows & macOS).
Sorry, but it sounds like you're shilling for Fork.
I used Git on the command line exclusively for many years and occasionally tried the built-in Git tools for various editors as well as GitHub Desktop, but I never felt they were a lift in usability over the CLI or very pleasant to use. That was until I tried Sublime Merge on a whim. One thing I like is how keyboard oriented most of it is, and how it maps quite closely to CLI commands. If I want to commit I open the c…
cm is exactly how I think of commit, but I use it as a custom command on the cli.
I use my cm command like:
cm “Small refactoring of quux and baz”
and it runs
git commit -m “Small refactoring of quux and baz”
Similarly I have other two letter commands for all of the other git operations I most frequently use. (I.e for almost all of the ones I use day to day.)

What was bugging you about the UI?
Sublime Merge is cough sublimely good at performing 3-way merges. I don't like it as much as a generic git frontend (nothing beats the command line once you're used to it, but for 3-way merges, it's absolutely perfect and I have yet to see anything better. Another very good tool for 3-way merges is meld, but the macOS port (where I do most of my development work on) is not very good, mostly because the GTK macOS port…
When Sublime Merge was initially released I liked it a lot. Mostly because of it's snappy speed (like Sublime Text). But since a year or so I'm using lazygit ( https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit ), which at least for me is the best git tool ever.

100ms let alone 3s is much too long a wait, so Sublime Merge predicts the outcome of staging and presents that immediately. This made a noticeable improvement to responsiveness even on small repositories under Linux.
