I used GitExtension for years, but then I switched to Linux some years ago, so I had to find an alternative. I used SourceTree for a while, but I hated the UX. I tried GitKraken when it first came out, but it had a lot of issues that didn't make it appropriate for my workflow. After a couple more years, GitKraken had improved enough that I was able to switch to it. I've been using it for maybe 4 or 5 years now.
The pricing of GitKraken is a little frustrating. 5 pounds a month is quite a hefty price just to be able to use a private repo. Especially since it has not materially changed for my usage, so I would have been much happier giving them the £50 for a single licence.
This is once of those scenarios where subscription for an enterprise might be a thing, but makes no sense for me. The JetBrains model would make sense and I could justify that.
But if you get no value from PHPStorm you can stop paying for it and you do not lose access unlike a subscription.
You just don't get new features.
My issue is that I do not get £5 worth of value each month from GitKraken. I get value every couple of months, and it is to explain to other people what they are doing wrong rather than direct value for me.
