The main benefit for me is the ability to quickly and conveniently see the commit history and diff as well as branches' current position. If you're already comfortable with doing the same in CLI, then you're probably not going to gain a ton.

I like Sourcetree for this particularly because its buttons map fairly well to the actual CLI commands that it will be executing, and makes it painless to open a CLI terminal for instances where I want more fine-tuned control.
