Magit is really fantastic. I used to be a person who used to pay for a GUI. Once the billing model changed for my former preferred GUI, I bit the bullet and took the time to learn Magit. I don't regret it one bit. Some of the main perks for myself are easy selection for partial commits of files, amazing support for interactive rebasing, really sane key bindings. When I pair-program with others who are CLI users, they are impressed by Magit every time.

If you would’ve paid for it, you might consider actually paying for it (if you haven’t already): https://magit.vc/donate

Thank you for the suggestion. I didn't realize he had a means of receiving donations. I made a donation :).

It reminds me (I hear it in the voice of the narrator) "Emacs Rocks! Episode 17: Magit" https://youtu.be/rzQEIRRJ2T0

To Org and Magit, I would also add Notmuch as the third killer app for Emacs. A super mail user agent.
Its search engine extraordinarily quick and powerful. Besides, the whole architecture Notmuch has is incredibly elegant.
Yeah, I love Notmuch. It is so, so much faster than webmail that it’s not even funny.
I barely even bother to use git at the command line these days, and I’m pretty sure that with some of the changes Mr. Bernoulli is working on someday I’ll be able to never use it.
Magit is the porcelain/TUI git always needed. It’s really that good.
