Git sucks. It ruins my process. SVN has great integration with eclipse .

It would be more accurate to phrase that not as “Git sucks”, but as “the EGit plugin sucks”, or, if you must generalize, “Git’s ecosystem sucks”.

  I would agree, There is nothing that can beat the Git-cli at least for now.

    magit (https://github.com/magit/magit https://github.com/magit/magit) is unequivocally better than the Git CLI if you use Emacs.

  I would disagree with the generalization that "Git's ecosystem sucks", though ;-) Many tools have Git support these days, and supplemental tools around Git are plentiful and quite mature. The Git community is friendly and helpful, especially around the mailing list and IRC.

Why? I personally don't use Eclipse but I'm sure there is a tool out there to provide similar functionality.

  Intellij and other IDEs from jetBrains have pretty good GIT integration that works quite well and is similar to the GIT-cli

  If I want to move to GIT, then I should use all the advantages of GIT, I couldn't find single GIT client/plugin that directly supports all the advanced features in GIT including Egit, intellij and others.

    I doubt if any tool can ever support all the advanced features of GIT like its plumbing commands. Even a feature like rebase is which is fairly understandable on the CLI, becomes difficult to use on a GUI

    I would assume that being able to work offline and not depend on a central repo is enough of a benefit anyhow

      I don't this is really a killer feature in this age of always connected devices.

        If you've ever tried to get a decent connection on a train through England on a particular network, you'd disagree :)

        That is a special and unique circumstance. One can definitely manage time so to not work while travelling.

        Yeap, adjusting my life to my VCS tool is perfectly reasonable ;)
