You can create a branch from the current head which isn't exactly what you said but fits my use case.

But, it just works really well for simple work flows - I like it on Windows for my projects. Has keyboard bindings, is fast, and does what it's trying to do well.

If you want to do more advanced stuff maybe Git Kraken, or just the CLI.

I use Sublime Merge, it's fairly fully featured.

Seems like GitHub desktop is mostly aimed at people who want to use git like it's Dropbox.

I don't think there's need to ascribe some "Want to use X like it's Y" intentions to people. The tagline "simplifies your development workflow" certainly doesn't make me think of Dropbox at least.

Maybe it's mostly aimed at people who like the features of GitHub Desktop?
