I'm using Magit, it's perfectly fine for my uses (commit, merge, rebase, stash, and branching - usually very little deep plumbing). It has good documentation, I can only recommend it. Sadly, I can't compare it to the others you listed, as Magit was the first one I tried, and never felt any need to try another.

I guess that is a case where a "me-too" post is useful: count me as another vote for Magit, even if I haven't even tried any of the others.

Magit makes many tasks really easy: pick individual commits from other branches, pick only certains hunks from a file, moving a branch to a remote, taking stash snapshots (leaving and resetting the working directory), and more.

Magit for everyday use because buffers are split into expandable/collapsible sections which makes navigation a breeze (e.g. for adding hunks) vc-annotate is a great interface for git-blame (Magit doesn't have this). vc-annotate-next/prev-revision are seriously handy. Magit's interface for interactive rebase (bound to E in magit-status window - this is not in the latest docs) is not so handy. I tend to drop down into shell. Make sure you have git core editor set to emacsclient -c of course.

  Perfect; I was just looking for vc-annotate-next today. Magit user here. I love it for its ability to let me do line-level control over what I place in the index. I use the prompt for deep surgery but for general coding/logging/commit-bundling, I haven't found anything better. The documentation for it is great. I wanted something a little more breezy for quick task-centric scanning and made this... http://daemianmack.com/2009/09/24/magit-cheatsheet/# http://daemianmack.com/2009/09/24/magit-cheatsheet/# Maybe it'll be useful to you.

I've used Magit for a while. Eventually I went back to the command line. The command line is still much faster than Magit
