I have a love-hate relationship with it. Due to work reasons I'm more familiar than I want to be with tortoiseSVN, and the git version is similar enough to feel at home. But that's also it's biggest downfall: it does a lot of things the "SVN way" despite being a git client. The workflow can be kinda made to work, but it always feels like it's not a native git tool, because it isn't. I would go so far as to say that it encouragedrl bad habits on git, especially for those used to tortoiseSVN.
What do you mean in particular?
The only thing that comes to mind for me is the "restore after commit" being a different chunk-add workflow than
add --patch- but I don't think it's worse.
