fair enough. i'm just the other way around - i usually prefer terminal-based apps, but i really like gitk and git-cola. the gui really enhances the user experience for both those apps.
* It's fast.
* It's there in the terminal, right where you're using git.
* Hence, easy to use over ssh :)
* Familiar keyboard shortcuts (press 'h' for help).
* Combined log/diff view, where each scrolls independently.
* 'tig --all'
I've often wished I could use it to start a rebase, but besides that, I find it damn near perfect.
As an avid rebase user, I want to add rebase support eventually. Something like interactive rebase, however, the question is how to improve something that is nearly perfect.

[ 3.3 ms ] story [ 40.1 ms ] threadIt's fine. I have nothing against it. I just generally like doing as much as I can in the terminal, when that makes sense.
gitk is OK, but I like tig. Personal quirks.
If tig started "git rebase" (with or without -i) and then helped me through fixing any conflicts (merge tool?), that'd be awesome.
I sometimes forget where I am during a rebase, so showing how many more commits to go would be cool.
Here are some bindings my in .tigrc, which I use in the log viewer window, to make it more vim like:
bind generic g move-first-line
bind generic G move-last-line
bind generic n next
bind generic p previous
I generally use n/p to flip between commits in log view, hit enter to view a specific commit, and then j/k to move lines on the commit view.
Extradite is a wrapper around fugitive to provide a log view similar to tig's log view, but seemed a bit clunky to me last time I tried it.
