high-quality GUI
Back in the day when SourceTree had the original built-in multiple repsitory overview it had something no other tool had (I think) and for the rest it was workable, but slow. Then they basically rewrote it, replaced the whole UI with something which was slower and less clear and did not even have the repository overview. I still don't understand why. Plus it still had the annoying problems where you'd be rebasing on the CLI and that would fail because at the same time SourceTree had the repository open. tldr; I admit I don't know it's current state, but at least when I left it it was not exactly a high-quality UI.
Anyway I ditched it for SublimeMerge around that point and even though it lacks certain functionality I didn't go back. Main reason is probably that the UI looks clear, has good diff/staging and proper keyboard support and a command palette. But just like other tools, it's not for everyone.
- ChrisMarshallNY 7y agoPretty much every development utility that I use (especially Xcode) is buggy. ST is no exception. Like most developers, I've learned where the potholes are, and have warning cones around them. I'd love a nicer GUI, but, like I said, my experience has me a bit gunshy about using other stuff. I've had Tower for a while, but seldom use it. It's a great app, but the GUI actually gets in my way a bit. My favorite text editor is BBEdit. I've been using it since last century. It's kept up with the times, but has a much more spartan aspect than editors like VSCode and Sublime. I like its RegEx support; which I use all the time.
