I use VS Code with GitLab.
I need to install VS code. on my desktop. been hearing you two complement it.
It's like Atom but with some benefits (and drawbacks.) If you like Atom and use it mostly for coding, VS Code might be the right choice for you.

It's pretty nice. The built in Git stuff is nicer than Atom. To me it feels faster than Atom also.
matter of taste: I've used both for coding (mostly python) and I prefer Atom. As far as git is concerned I feel constrained with both and I go straight to cmd line.
I generally use the command line too for GIT. Just so quick and easy, and works every time.
I find the integrations in the apps quicker for normal commits. Don't have to switch between the app and a terminal (or even switch to a terminal in the app). The shortcuts are quick, and auto-complete as you type. I've never not had it work.
Quake style terminals are perfect for this. Hit a hot key, terminal is in your face, commit, hotkey and it is gone again.
I use the drop down terminal extension for GNOME3 a lot. I'm just lazy and like typing as little as possible
With a tiny BASH wrapper, you could have essentially no typing at all. Something like "gitcom these are my changes" and it submits for you. Or just alias it to "g".

True. I usually don't alias much. But I think we are at the point where you are writing things to get the cli at the same speed as what's in the applications.

I've not found any application that comes close in speed to the "up arrow, hit enter" speed of the CLI, though.

You still have to enter your message. So to me it's the same as hotkey and then message.
