For what it's worth, I pretty much exclusively use git through Eclipse's EGit UI. I do a lot of rebasing, as we use Atlassian's "centralized" workflow. [0] It's interactive rebase interface is pretty good. If you haven't used it, maybe try loading a repo into it and see how you do.

Interactive rebase works fine for me in Eclipse (eGit). At least on wiindows that's preferable to me over the command line editor.

However, I am squashing very rarely, mainly for commits which correct typos.

Yeah. I'd recommend that. Personally, I found that I didn't really understand git until I did it all from the command line. YMMV, but that's what made it all click for me.

I find SourceTree to be surprisingly effective. Also, try setting Sumblkme Text to be your core.editor in git
