Previous longtime sourcetree user. Fork fells way more responsive, has better UX and the same if not more functionality compared to sourcetree. This is super astonishing taken that only two people develop this lovely software. My Highlights:
Never had any can't pull/need to switch to commandline git again which I had sometimes with sourcetree
Not some electron stuff, everything is snappy and the app does not take up too much memory
Has a great visual merge tool integrated +1
Can be used for free, but I decided to pay the 49.99 (net) to support the devs
What sourcetree does better
I feel like git flow was a bit more straight forward with sourcetree
Tags and git flow features have no ui buttons, but can only be reached through shortcuts or menus. Okay once you're used to it, but for starters sourcetree might be a bit more intuitive in that manner.

I switched from Mercurial to Git and was searching for a replacement for TortoiseHg. This was simply the best free Git client I found. The user interface is slick, it's simple and straight forward to use. There is a feedback button in the app, and using it made the developers reply within 2 hours or so - amazing.

It's truly the best Git GUI for Windows / Mac. Easy to use, very powerful and with the great UI

Still great, but not free anymore. Not too pricey at $49 though.

I have been following this Git GUI for a few years, and have tried it a little bit. Program advertises itself as "free", but now latest version has a popup screen "please purchase fork git" where it says you can buy it for 49.99 USD for "Personal and commercial use".

Still early days, but my initial impressions:
Clean, thoughtful UI
Not tethered to any vendor's mothership
Free

Thus far the only git client I've actually enjoyed using.
