Makes things hard to find for people used to the git CLI.

Con May clutter your Windows Explorer
If you have synced your dev folder to a cloud service, TortoiseGit's git status file icons will override your cloud provider's icons.

It does not support staging in any way. You'll never guess that this feature is exist in git.
