High-quality client, new version sounds like it'll be on par with Sourcetree features while retaining a decent GUI. Sourcetree is marvellous, but overly complicated to use.

Does Tower have interactive rebase these days? I'm mainly using SourceTree right now since I don't miss out on anything from the command line version.

Same here, but SourceTree just seems to get so slow after a fair amount of use.

I think the support for squashing that Tower has, is far better (or easier to use) than how interactive rebase works in SourceTree. In fact that is the reason I bought Tower. You can squash on merge. In SourceTree I was not able to squash without craeting aditional commits on the way.

SourceTree crashes like all hell for our team. I like the pretty visualisation of the branches, and it's not bad for git newbies, but it actually feels like a relief using the command line most of the time.

I liked the original Tower when it came out, and I paid the £50 or whatever it was since it was so much better than everything else. I don't know if it can compete with SourceTree any more though: pretty much all of its advertised new features are already present in SourceTree, which is free.

I find this gitx fork pretty good, and it's GPL:

SourceTree has a nightmare of a UI. I would much rather trade a few features for a Git client with a solid UI.

I went to just using git on the command line, and the GitHub mac app for doing commits
