To add more praises about Magit: I would really love to use other DVCS, especially Fossil because it has built-in issue tracker and Wiki and all, but to be unable to use Magit with Fossil is a bigger drawback for me to make a switch.

At this point, I can basically do most of Git commands in Magit with just muscle memory; say, stage everything in the tree, commit amend, reset author and dates, then force push (I know) to remote I would just press with evil-magit: <SPC>gsSc-Racp-fpy (<SPC>gs for invoking Magit, S to stage everything, c to enter commit mode, -R set the reset author flag, a amend commit, p enter push mode, -f set the force flag, p push to origin, y confirm force push)

It may sounds complicated, but the Magit UI is discoverable, and once you're used to it you can do anything without even looking at the UI...
