A great list overall. One alternative I'd offer: he recommends Github for Windows and Tortoise as Git clients. I've been using SourceTree for Windows (http://www.sourcetreeapp.com/) and it's excellent. They've done a great job maintaining and keeping it up to date.

SourceTree is such a great program. It's also very intuitive and nooby friendly, as opposed to Github for Windows which never seized to confuse me and I've been using Git for years.

With SourceTree, people completely new to Git and version control can get things done.

Woo hoo! Another SmartGit user. I love it! And SmartSVN and SmartSynchronize.

Git Extensions is by far the best windows git client that I ever used.

Agree, the way it does hg-flow and git-flow is pretty cool.
