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.
