I'm a SourceTree user on Mac. Just tried GitUp out for an hour.
Here are the problems I have with SourceTree:
* Slow as hell
* No/bad keyboard shorts, and setting up custom ones is annoying and buggy
* Uses tons of memory — it eventually gets up to 1 GB after running for a day or two, and my repos are not very big.
My thoughts on GitUp:
* Crazy fast (almost disarmingly so – I think it needs more visual confirmation when things happen)
* Excellent commit/staging view. Reminds me of GitExtensions, a nice Git GUI for Windows
* I love the focus on keyboard shortcuts. They work really well in the commit view
* Map view is truly awful. I get that it's a work in progress, but I have no idea what its organizing principle is. Too much pointless whitespace. It radically overprivileges old branches and commits. I don't see a way to focus on what I did most recently.
* The list of commits (Cmd+D) in the map view is useless
