I'm using if for day-to-day work and I find it stable. Lately the plugin has made good progress and has added:

• merge support, including a in-Eclipse merge tool;
• a basic synchronise view;
• reading of .git/info/exclude and .gitignore files.
• rebasing;
• streamlined commands for pushing and pulling;
• cherry-picking.

Be sure to skim the EGit User Guide for a good overview of the current functionality.

I find that I only need to drop to the comand line for interactive rebases.

As an official Eclipse project I am confident that EGit will receive all the main features of the command-line client.
