Specs
Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Visibly more compact overview output than many other options
When using gitk to scan a long list of changes, the user is able to see more of the list without pagination, as there is no huge buffer of whitespace between each entry.
Pro Fast
Since it's pretty minimalistic and does not contain a lot of features (for example, it can't commit), it's quite fast.
Pro Free
Gitk is a free and open source tool. It forms part of the official git suite.
Pro Comes with Git
Gitk is a part of the git package, so no additional application is necessary: it is developed right alongside git itself.
Pro Easy to use
Pro Semantic Diff and Merge Tools for most languages
This includes C#, Java, C, C++, VB.Net, and Delphi.
Pro Visual
Lays out the repository in a visual way that makes sense and paints a clear picture of what is going on.
Pro Native
Not based on web technologies so it doesn't carry the same weight and performance implications.
Cons

Con Requires registration/account to use (Outdated, not longer correct)
Con No proper Uninstaller
No good way to uninstall the program, at least for the time being.
Con Ugly
