Is anyone here using a GUI for git? If yes - which one and why? (szmer.info)

I ask because I like console, but at the same time have difficulties remembering all the commands. I'd like to try a GUI that is comfortable to use with only a keyboard.

No, I find typing faster than clicking and I've been using git for so long the commands are second nature to me.

What I prefer most about an UI is the better sense of overview over the repository and it's branches.

I find, when compared to people I've worked with that prefer plain git, that I'm much quicker at finding certain changes or seeing what is in which branch with GitExtensions.
