> the only extra thing magit does is rebasing You have no idea on how many levels that statements is false, there's much more than just the rebase: - You ever needed to see branches in a specific order, sorted by committer-date? - What about filtering them, maybe showing only those that yet not merged to master? - What about ordering commits, searching through them, etc. - You ever wanted to see all the commits authored by you that are at least two months older? - Ever needed to see commits that only include a specific set of files? - What about tracing the evolution of a given function? - Bisects, have you ever done those? - You ever had a stash that you can't pop because you made changes, and now you have to resolve conflicts? - Have you ever thought about cherry-picking a specific line from a stash, another branch, etc.? - Ever needed to work with submodules? - Ever thought about how nice would it be to issue a Pull request without leaving Emacs? I'm not sure when was the last time you tried Magit, but maybe try again. Perhaps then you'd appreciate how much good stuff people built into it. It's impressive because aside from a single (hugely successful) Kickstarter campaign and some small voluntary contributions, maintainer and contributors don't get paid for the fantastic work they do, and your comment in that context sounds a bit disingenuous.
