I’m as interested in the next git as much as the next guy, but this gives me no idea how I should or could work with jujutsu.

Anonymous branches? How do I get back to my work?

Auto commit of saved files? How do I commit the things I want without leaving all sorts of junk I don’t wanna share in my history?

I have no impression of how this makes anything easier.

I think this is just the hallmark of a new technology. Nobody understood how (or why) to use git when it first appeared either until people showed up who could communicate its benefits and UX really well.

Git, though, has the somewhat unique problem that its UX does a particularly bad job of explaining itself. Git isn't difficult because of its mind-bending awesomeness, but because the UX sucks. I'm fine with it, thankyouverymuch, but it was rote learning and I watch beginners struggle.
