I've been using SourceTree for years. It was always a little funky in how it was laid out but I got used to it. I could have lived with this change if they didn't get rid of freaking COLORS. Seriously. All the icons look more or less the same now. Have to read to make sure I'm clicking what I think I'm clicking. I think I'll look elsewhere finally. I just can't stand another 50 shades of gray interface.

#52Wow - whats up with forcing people to login - what is the catch? what is the point? Feels like when an app wants access to your GPS, contacts and microphone and you wonder for what reason...
Feel the cloud, baby.

#53Earlier quoted context omitted.
Not really. I use it; works OK. The "new" app is just a new skin as far as I can tell.
Not true, it's riddled with bugs. Here's just the ones I've noticed today: - Install and start it on Windows 10 and the initial Atlassian login screen doesn't work (it pops a browser window over the top that doesn't go anywhere). It eventually works after 3 or 4 tries. - Upgrade from an older version on a machine where some of the repos in the left hand pane have been removed and it crashes instantly on first run wit…

#54Wow, people generally dislike change, but the level of negativity in the comments there suggests that these changes really are bad.

#57I usually try to be positive but these changes don't look good. It looks like some overzealous designer started making UX decisions they weren't qualified to make and now the app is unusable. I'm a huge SourceTree fan - I use it exclusively for Git, but I won't be upgrading until these obvious UX problems have been addressed. Edit: Also, why do the OS X and Windows versions look so different?!? The buttons aren't eve…
At least they tried.
I used the previous iteration (Windows) for all of 5 minutes before deciding that the cognitive load which that awful UI caused wasn't worth it. I switched back to CLI+GHFW until Git Kraken[1] entered beta and, well, I no longer see any reason to reconsider my GUI client. Still, that incompetent UX was one of the biggest problems on Windows. Kudos to them for revisiting it.

#58SourceTree served me well for many years. Switched to GirUp 3 months ago and haven't looked back since. Highly recommend it. It's fast. http://gitup.co/
