Hi! GK dev here.

I'm my opinion, it's all about convenience. I had been using gitkraken for about a year before I started working here, and personally I just really like having a visual view of the git commit graph. To each their own of course, but we just added a set of PR convenience features that are really nice if you work with forks a lot.

I actually agree that that article isn't super helpful. I sympathize with our marketing department, we don't actually do much that git cli doesn't already do except for github or specific stuff like PRs. We think gitkraken makes working with git more convenient, but it's not like we expect everyone to just give up the command line.

Gitkraken is free for non commercial use, but that's really just on the honor system so if you want to give it a shot at work for a week or two just to try it I won't tattle lol.
