    GUIs for Hg/Git are now much more usable. On Windows, OS X, and 
Linux my GUI/command line use split is about 80/20.

    For Hg, TortoiseHg is quite good on Windows and Linux and so is 
SourceTree on OS X. I don't use Git as much but SourceTree works well on 
OS X.

    SourceTree is in beta on Windows and doesn't yet support Hg there.
