+1 for SmartGit. It's much more intuitive and flexible than the JetBrains UI, which still inherits so much terminology and behavior from its "unified" view that includes being able to handle Perforce changelists. It's a bit of a mess and generally trips new users up more than it helps. If you're comfortable with it, then good for you but I've had a lot of students not being able to grok it really well.

I used to feel that way about JetBrains, but I don’t notice those abstractions anymore. IDK how much of it is the iterative changes they have made over the years vs me getting used to it.
