EGit, Eclipse's Git plugin, seems a bit underdeveloped still, but since it's officially in the incubation phase I'm not complaining. It can absolutely not perform Git's push command to a GitHub repository (loosely corresponding to a commit in SVN). To do that, I have to use the command-line. It also has trouble recognizing the .gitignore file, marking ignored files as untracked rather than ignoring them entirely. The plugin allows me to ignore all untracked files entirely, though, so it's not a showstopper for me.
Git's separation of commit and push commands is amazing, and though I'm still very new to Git, I can already feel the extra freedom it gives me. EGit is bound to catch up eventually, so learning Git now is probably a good investment of my time.
