Multiple Environments

I just use plain old git, which is free. It comes with gitgui, which is more than adequate 99% of the time. The other 1% I need to use the command line. I've tried expensive GUIs (trial versions), and more often than not I still need to use the commandline 1% of the time so why bother.

The majority of the time all you are doing is creating branches, switching between branches, merging branches, deleting branches, making commits, pushing/pulling. That's easy stuff. Try just using gitgui before spending money on something you probably don't need. The basic, free git (and gitgui) will do everything you say you need it to and a lot more. Remember, those GUIs are using the command line behind the scenes too. They don't do anything that git can't do.
