My assessment of git-cola (formerly ugit) makes me wonder if that statement is still true. It doesn't have explorer integration, and the install is tedious on windows. But since it uses Qt4 it's purty enough for Windows users and it uses porcelain commands so it doesn't require plumbing knowledge.

The Windows users that I've shown git cola are universally excited to try it. And my dogfood'ing on Linux has been going well.

FWIW, Barry Roberts
