Pros
Pro Visual commit mode
Allows for interactive staging of files or hunks and deleting of unstaged or non-git tracked files. Hunk size slider allows staging/unstaging individual lines, letting you stage pieces of a file easily.
Pro Fast GUI
Responsive even with thousands of files or large binary like files
Pro Understandable trees (branches etc.)
The visualisation of the development trees makes git a lot more useful. The command line is good for a lot, but trees are for GUI clients like GitX.
Pro Fast
This is one the fastest client we've found for switching around them.
Pro Actual git commands are visible/editable
Most actions have an option where it will show the actual Git command it's going to run, and you can modify it in place. Very handy if you need to use some obscure option, and also good training for learning command-line operations.
Pro Easy for beginners
This helps to see more complexity and it's very easy to get started with.
Cons

The staging workflow in GitX-dev is kind of clumsy and unintuitive in the opinion of some. (others love it)
Con Slim feature set
Con Dark theme behind paywall
The evaluation version is fully functional, but is restricted to the light theme only.
