Form over function, just like recent changes to Bitbucket. The people developing these two Atlassian products strike me as young (under 30?) web designers that have never used tools like SourceTree and Bitbucket for anything but the most basic of projects.

SourceTree is an incredibly powerful Git client that has managed to build a pretty strong following with power users who take advantage of features like rebasing or cherry picking.

On the other end of the spectrum we have the folks who are getting started with Git. Even using branches is a concept people have to get used to. Our goal with SourceTree is to make Git more approachable while still maintaining the power of the tool... and yes, that's not an easy task.

As the preview shows, SourceTree will see a number of changes over the next few months, and I'm sure we won't get everything right the first time. But we are convinced that, with your help, we can make SourceTree both approachable and powerful at the same time.

Honest question, do you guys even test your releases? The 1.8 release must be the biggest trainwreck of an update that I see in recent time. I'm not talking about the UI, as each is entitled to his own opinion. But there are glaring bugs that made the software downright unusable. There were regressions everywhere. Does the QA process even exist for SourceTree?
