Is anyone here using a GUI for git? If yes - which one and why? (szmer.info)

I ask because I like console, but at the same time have difficulties remembering all the commands. I'd like to try a GUI that is comfortable to use with only a keyboard.

Besides lots of things already mentioned, sometimes I'm asked to support software under Windows that uses configuration files (and possibly versioned, self-contained releases - think stuff akin to running Apache Tomcat under Windows).

For those, I love using TortoiseGit to keep a handle on the 'mess' - it's out of the way in general, but I can see at one glance when stuff's been touched, keep a very convevient history etc.
