Gitkraken makes me win lots of time! Even my colleagues which were saying I was lazy using it started doing the same!
Pros:Simplicity, undo-redo (saved many reset --hard !!) and how easily we can branch/stash/squash/rebase/merge straight inside Gitkraken
Cons:Sometimes, we call it Gitkranken! But their devs are always making fixes (sometime 3 releases in a few days) to make it work smoothly!

I'm using it for 99% of my git tasks during my day job and personal "after hours" projects. It's stable and really fast after update 2.0
Pros:Really fast, Intuitive, Feature full
Cons:Sometimes you need to use git command line to clean up after some messy merges. But it's very rarely (and i got the same with SourceTree)

Some time ago, it was necessary to register to use it. Awful. Don't know if it is still the case.
Pros:None so far.
Cons:Instability and bad UI

Pros:The interface is beautiful. Easy for both beginners and advanced users to pick up. Compliments my workflow very well. Built in SSH auth too.
Cons:Gets slow at times, especially on less powerful computers. Recent updates have improved it tremendously though.

I use this all day, everyday. All of my colleagues use source tree because it's free but I don't find the Ui as appealing or intuitive as Gitkraken especially when working with complex branch structures.
Pros:- Easy to work with multiple branches
- Looks amazing
- Fast and simple to use
Cons:- Needs the ability to push and pull to more than one remote

A great tool to allow non-tech people to contribute to a Git project.
Pros:Git, now faster, thanks to this brilliant interface.
Stage + commit + push in one keyboard shortcut 🤘
Cons:I don't feel like a developer anymore now that I use a GUI 😛

I've tried Github's client, Tower, Webstorm's Integrated Git UI, SourceTree and Gitkraken is definitely the client I am most confortable with. It is really easy to track all of your team's changes thanks to its tons of features.
Pros:The best git GUI out there IMHO
Cons:I'd like to be able to open several windows with a repo in each one.

After multi-file-select was added recently we are coming closer to GK being usable day by day. But still missing the ability to use an external diff tool. Basically every git GUI out there supports this feature. But GK refuses to implement this.
I'm always wondering how people can work without having a decent diff tool at hand. Axosoft communicated that they don't have a need internally for this and it's not a highly demanded feature. So it's low on their priority list.
So maybe every GK developer and user lives in a perfect world with small commits in perfectly organized and well formatted code bases. But real live shows that this is always the case. :(
Pros:* Mostly everything already said here
* Some really cool unique features
Cons:* Gets slow up to unusable on bigger repos (speed decreases over time)
* Eats memory
* No external diff. Unusable for more complex diffs

Love this, I'm a GIT power-user, but for visual understanding the command line is not the place to live
Pros:Makes it easy to visualize and manage dozens of branches.
Cons:Options for vertical layout

Crafting commits and having a clean birds eye view of all the branches in flight/commit history is really valuable to me. Also being able to quickly inspect individual commits to see what was changed in them. And being able to resolve merge conflicts in the app is huge. No running a command in terminal, then launching another application to inspect and resolve the conflicts. It's all in the same app and I love it. I love my CLI and used to do everything that way, but this is just simply better and faster. The only thing I still use the CLI for is `git commit --allow-empty -m "Initial commit to start PR"`, and that's just because GitKraken hasn't added support for empty commits yet.
Pros:- Many CLI workflows are shortened into single button clicks = faster than CLI
- Much better visibility into commits and commit history
Cons:- Startup time on my machine is around 18 seconds, considerably slower than launching a terminal. (But it's worth it)
