In my experience magit version is much faster to use since you can simply select which lines you want to stage without having to refine the hunk.

Not even just lines - you can selectively stage arbitrary regions too.

Cool, didn't know about that. To boost Magit a bit, you can stage parts of patch hunks, I use that quite a bit.

Just select any parts of the diff using regular edit text select commands and press "s" for stage.
