Specs
Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Native GitHub GUI support via GitHub Eclipse plugin
GitEye can be integrated with the GitHub Eclipse plugin to have support for GitHub.
Pro Custom commands can be defined that allow launching third-party tools
If you are using a lot of third-part tools besides GitEye, you can set up shortcuts to launch them easily from inside GitEye, greatly improving your workflow.
Pro Has a graphical compare and merge tool
Pro Great for those starting out with git
Pro Pure Git behind the scenes
All actions are real Git actions which minimizes confusion and makes it perfect for beginners and professionals alike.
Pro Speed
Nothing is faster. I used to use Gitkraken, but on large projects Gitkraken is barely usable.
Pro Very keyboard friendly
All actions have either direct hotkeys or corresponding entries in the palette (same as Sublime Text). This means a very streamlined and fast usage.
Pro No account info needed
No account- or server checkbacks (only for updates). All password handling is pure Git which means much less trouble and confusion.
Pro Portable version
Windows portable version.
Pro "Native" performance (Python based)
Very good performance.
Pro Using the trial version forever without limitations
Sublime Merge may be downloaded and evaluated for free, however, a license must be purchased for continued use. There is no enforced time limit for the evaluation.
Pro Lifetime testing
The product is paid but you can test for your life without paying (similar to sublime text).
Pro Excellent user interface
The user interface is designed excellently, and it's really fast to navigate with mouse or keyboard. It's never obscured which git commands are used, and commands can be modified/extended if desired. The visual appearance of the interface can be changed via themes, new git commands can be added, and even the menus can be extended.
Pro Not subscription based
A license gives you 3 years of updates, and you can use the product after that indefinitely.
Pro Bundled license available with Sublime Text (which is an amazing text editor)
Cons
Con Poor documentation
The documentation isn't very detailed and does not do a good job at explaining everything.
Con Too expensive
And they're continuing to increase the price over the time, from the $60 that was at the start.
