What I want to know is: which of Tower, GitKraken, GitHub Desktop or Stash do the kernel developers prefer?

Doubt they'd prefer any of those. None of those are open source, every single one is a GUI app (which has a history of limiting access to the plumbing that can be provided), and some of those don't even run on Linux.

Yes, and do they use Outlook or the Yahoo webmail interface to compose their patches?
