I don't think JB UIs been changing that much, albeit I haven't been working in the industry long enough. I think the last major UI redo was like 2,3 years ago and most of it is to make UI more compact, and I definitely like it. That being said YMMV.

IMHO another good thing of using JB IDE git UI (especially in a corporate setting) instead of using another software is that everyone has the IDE so it's easier to collaborate. Imagine if you're helping a junior member debug their local branch and they don't have lazy git installed.
