I've recently learned about SourceTree which is a Mac GUI client for Git, Mercurial and SVN which has recently been bought by Atlassian. I do still like working on the command line but I like this quite a bit and I can see myself continuing to use it.
Atlassian is currently give away free licences for SourceTree so if you would like to consider I suggest you do it now.
As you may know there is a similar application called Tower but it's Git only. Given that it's pretty similar I can't see myself paying out for Tower. That and I do use bitbucket primarily for my personal stuff (git for work) it's just not for me.
I think I'd be very happy to recommend this to my co-workers and try to get it used at work but unfortunately SourceTree is a Mac only app. I would love to see a Linux port. On the off chance its developers see this please make it happen!
SourceTree has a load of features, many of which I haven't had time to check out yet so I'm not going to talk about them but I really love the visual history and the ability to select various diff tools like DiffMerge, TextWrangler and DiffFork amongst others. I haven't tried it but I'd like to see if I can do diff with Vim just because Vim is awesome.
As I mentioned they are giving away licenses. I'm sure they'll start charging at some point. I don't know how much but I'd suggest grabbing it now to check it out while it's free. If you want a source control GUI application for OS X you can hardly go wrong with SourceTree.
