Has anyone who's enjoying Jujutsu tried Meta's Sapling? I've been using it lately with the VS Code plugin, and it's been great. My understanding is that Jujutsu is pretty heavily inspired by Sapling and Google's patch-based git workflow?

I used to work on Sapling and Mercurial while at Facebook. I've been using Jujutsu full time for the last two years.

Jujutsu is in a sense the final form of that style of VCS, which I characterize as making commits first-class rather than branches, and providing powerful tools for managing long queues of stacked changes (git rebase -i is nice but has many limitations that don't exist in Jujutsu).

I go into some more detail in my testimonial, the first one at https://jj-vcs.github.io/jj/latest/testimonials/#what-the-us....
