I'm still waiting for a decent GUI that takes full advantage of the simplicity of git's underlying data model. The CLI is okay and I've gotten really good with it, but fundamentally I think git's DAG is something that would be best represented and manipulated graphically.

[Reinventing the Git Interface][1] was written almost 3 years ago now and yet to my knowledge nobody's implemented anything quite like that yet.

Git Kraken has some neat ideas around dragging bits of the DAG around to manipulate them.
Yeah, I've been meaning to try that for a while now. Unfortunately I can't use it at work because Kraken still don't support connecting to the internet through a proxy, and they won't let you use it offline.
