I've been using Emacs for years but only started using Magit this year, what a fantastic Git client.

It makes everything trivial to do, even rebases become safe and friendly. Its definitely a git client on a league of its own.

Have you tried tig? http://jonas.nitro.dk/tig/ Could not use git without it anymore.

tig supports only a small subset of the magit functionality.

It's useful if you don't have an emacs at hand and quickly want to explore a git repository, but that's about it.
