Hi,

I know there are several GUIs out there for Git. They are all
functional and most of them can be used in the daily work with Git.
In my opinion one thing combines them: they aren't very pretty.
I currently prefer the CLI to work with Git because it's quick and I
am happy with it. But I think there are people out there, who don't
want to use the command-line because they are afraid of doing
something wrong or anything like this. Additionally the CLI and
unattractive GUIs are barriers to people who are not familar with a
SCM-system.
So I thought about developing a new kind of GUI for Git that looks
modern and attractive (you know... some eye-candy stuff) and that is
easy to use. In addition I thought about a built-in console (like we
know it from first person shooters) so that also people who prefer the
CLI might use this GUI application too.

Is there anybody who agrees or disagrees? I really would appreciate
some feedback about that idea.

P.S.:
Normally I come up with such ideas to the public and ask what others
think about it when I have some mockups. I am sorry that I haven't any
right now.
