Not really. I use it; works OK. The "new" app is just a new skin as far as I can tell.

#4Side topic here: Anyone noticed how bad Git-LFS is?
We've been using it in production for dataset versioning and noticed that it's not even at a beta stage, perhaps pre-alpha. It gets corrupted by it's own volition at random, working seamlessly for a day then suddenly 'git clone' will fail repeatedly, until the repository is rolled back, or it magically fixes itself.
I don't understand how it got integrated into Github, and now i see sourcetree and other clients support it. gah.

#5Still waiting for showing all repositories on the left hand side so I don't need to iterate through ten different windows whenever I'm looking to commit something.
Edit: Some commenters mentioned SmartGit and GitKraken. Anyone here actually use them?

Yeah, it got bad shockingly fast. Question though: does anyone really use SourceTree? I've tried using it like 5 different times and it's just so convoluted. It's very ugly, non-intuitive, and doesn't have a lot of features that people use with Git.
On Windows I usually grab Tortoise, and on Mac I use Tower. Tower has some limitations and it gets crashy every now and then, but geez they make using a UI worth it. I genuinely got as good as I am with Git on the command line because SourceTree was so effing bad and I didn't have rights to install something different on a laptop I was using for a week.

#8I don't mind SourceTree; it's a great tool to visualize git tree that scratches some itches that gitk doesn't quite. Tree visualization of multiple branches and seamless integration with github/bitbucket are the reason I keep it on my Windows machine.
Granted, most of actual git activities are better done via command line, except for chunk editing.
Just one chagrin I have with sourcetree is the lack of linux integration, despite obvious demand: https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/149631/sourcetree-fo...

It just stopped working for me. So, yeah it is bad. I can't be bothered to wait for them to fix it, I just use Smartgit now.

#10I'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.
