i'm a bit less enthusiast than you about this soft even if i use 
to be:

+ easy commits: push/pull/commit
+ easy branches: switch/create/delete
+ easy remotes: manage different sources (e.g official & your 
forks)

- more complex things, squash, rebase, still have to use the 
console.
- big repositories are slow to open/refresh/switch branch
- several times ST has completly ruined my local repositories.
- it's a nightmare with any repos based on many sub repositories.
- it doesn't use *libgit*, but *git* executable itself, and it 
doesn't seem to balance well multiple instances among the cores.

Still the best git GUI but it has some obvious problems and bugs.
