IntelliJ has become pretty powerful with Git these days.

Squashing, dropping commits, rebasing. Even interactive rebase can be done in a few clicks.

I sometimes pop up IDEA to do some non-trivial cleanup in a repo. Even if relatively fluent with the command line, it saves me a lot of time.

What I like most, and isn't available in most UIs, is the ease of selecting individual lines you want to commit. Allows you to make very clean isolated commits most of the times.
Magit does that and this is super useful indeed!
