What's the advantage to SourceTree? aside from nicer ui.

I wish it had the code review, commenting, issue tracking of the web app in a desktop application, all in one place. It's a pain to move constantly between the editor, CLI/SourceTree and Github web app for everyday tasks.

I don't even think that this new client supports anything but GitHub. Their previous Windows client didn't.

Yes, it did, but it had very basic functionality. The new client still supports non-GitHub repositories (tried with private GitLab repos).

I'm using this new client against Bitbucket right now. Just added local repos that I had already cloned, and it's just following the .git/config like any good git client does.
