I mention this every time this comes up. But I absolutely hated magit. It's the worst kind of "nannyware knows best" integration, and it doesn't belong anywhere near an editor. It's a fine front end to git, I'm sure, if you're actually willing to stop and re-learn how to use git.

In my particular case, it was cute for a while until I did my first "git rebase -i" to reorder some patches or whatever and found myself in some kind of magical editor mode where nothing worked the way I knew. I literally couldn't figure it out from what was on the screen. Totally greek. Utterly useless without further learning.

Did I stop and read the docs to figure out how it wanted me to rebase in this brave new world? Hell no. I restarted emacs, disabled it, and never looked back. Right into the garbage it went.

Do. Not. Break. Workflows. Software that doesn't understand this principle is something I don't trust not to break itself when its developers decide to get cute. Stay away.

(Does seem pretty though)
