I used GitExtension for years, but then I switched to Linux some years ago, so I had to find an alternative. I used SourceTree for a while, but I hated the UX. I tried GitKraken when it first came out, but it had a lot of issues that didn't make it appropriate for my workflow. After a couple more years, GitKraken had improved enough that I was able to switch to it. I've been using it for maybe 4 or 5 years now.

GitKraken is amazing, I'm a happy customer through work. makes me happy when electron apps aren't crap.

“Tower” is quite good. Highly recommended.

The pricing of GitKraken is a little frustrating. 5 pounds a month is quite a hefty price just to be able to use a private repo. Especially since it has not materially changed for my usage, so I would have been much happier giving them the £50 for a single licence. This is once of those scenarios where subscription for an enterprise might be a thing, but makes no sense for me. The JetBrains model would make sense and I could justify that.

  $5/m is honestly peanuts. The amount of value I get from it is way, way more than that. I pay it yearly, like I do for PHPStorm.

    But if you get no value from PHPStorm you can stop paying for it and you do not lose access unlike a subscription. You just don't get new features. My issue is that I do not get £5 worth of value each month from GitKraken. I get value every couple of months, and it is to explain to other people what they are doing wrong rather than direct value for me.

        Stop paying for what? I don't pay for GitKraken because I can't justify subscribing to software that doesn't materially change. The risk is that they have to keep "doing stuff" to justify a subscription and we will end up with a new email client.
