I just switched from command-line foo to magit today (export GIT_EDITOR=emacsclient) by accident, and I'm very surprised how much easier it is now to solve complicated rebase scenarios. I'm a very sceptical emacs user, who prefers the terminal over M-x shell and friends.

Once I got used to the few keys, it is much better than anything else I saw before, and much faster than doing it manually.

Moving picks up or down with one key, killing it, fixup, squash, inspection, ... all with one key.

i wanted a terminal in emacs that was as standard as possible and created 'sane-term'. Just ansi-term with a couple useful features. Sorry for the plug

Just tried it, it's awesome. It could persuade me. Everything just works naturally.
