Magit in emacs. Probably one of the killer applications for emacs.

+1, along with Tig (console gui).

Thanks for telling me about tig, now I'm justified for having browsed HN today.

It treats my "assume everything works like vim" habit well

tig is great -- it makes it very easy to stage individual lines of code (using 1) or to reset unstaged changes on a file (using ! in the status view).

it covers like 80% of my use-cases (which I use 99% of the time), and weirdly magit gets me the other 20% if I can remember which trail of breadcrumbs I follow through helm to make it happen. For the easier stuff I just drop down into the cli though.

Agreed. Best git interface I have ever used.

I'd hesitate to call Magit a git GUI though.

If we take Ranger for example, who calls itself the "CLI file manager", then Magit is rather a "git CLI".

Why? It is designed for git and graphically displays revisions allowing you to pick and chose chunks of file and to revert individual changes.
