I'm windows exclusive, and I like git. I recently switched most of my
personal projects to git from svn, I'm generally enjoying using git a lot
more these days.

Command line works fine, although windows users don't like to do that.
TortoiseGit works, it's alright. I use it for most tasks, and the command
line for things Tortoise doesn't have buttons for (a surprising number of
trivial tasks).
As a windows user, git is not a problem anymore.
