This is exactly how I use all of these tools. I've not found one that doesn't work well like this - just have it open next to a CLI. I use the GUI for staging, committing, and occasionally resetting branch pointers or cherry picking. Everything else I do with the CLI.

That’s how I use SourceTree and now Fork. They are really good for the daily work like staging and showing diffs. But their use is questionable for other operations.

Seems a bit premature to say that you don't want X when the enumeration of the things you do want are the things that people use X for.
