Magit for everyday use because buffers are split into expandable/collapsible sections which makes navigation a breeze (e.g. for adding hunks)

vc-annotate is a great interface for git-blame (Magit doesn't have this). vc-annotate-next/prev-revision are seriously handy.

Magit's interface for interactive rebase (bound to E in magit-status window - this is not in the latest docs) is not so handy. I tend to drop down into shell.

Make sure you have git core editor set to emacsclient -c of course.

Perfect; I was just looking for vc-annotate-next today.

Magit user here. I love it for its ability to let me do line-level control over what I place in the index. I use the prompt for deep surgery but for general coding/logging/commit-bundling, I haven't found anything better.

The documentation for it is great. I wanted something a little more breezy for quick task-centric scanning and made this...

Maybe it'll be useful to you.
