tig is great for a read only operations. Looking at the tree, peeking at diffs, finding specific commits. It's quicker to get in and out of. I reach for it instead of `git log`.
lazygit makes it super easy to make modifications. Reorder commits, revert specific hunks from commits. I find it easier to use if I need to look at a really big diff. I reach for it instead of `git rebase -i`, and it can do things no native tool can do easily (such as revert or extract specific hunks from commit earlier in the tree.
I use both multiple times per day. tig if I just want to look at stuff (fewer keystrokes to look at diffs in the tui!) and lazygit if I want to modify stuff (more powerful!).
