Nice work! I've been using Jujutsu for almost 5 months and have completely replaced git. In fact, I've interacted with Git only 52 times (41 if we exclude my invocations of `--help` xD) since then vs 582 with Jujutsu.

Instead of having to adapt to a particular workflow, Jujutsu is flexible enough to support pretty much any workflow. Even when mostly using it like git, I have the freedom to jump around commits and branches (no stashing required), rebase easily (this may be simple for git power users, but I really appreciate being able to do this without VSCode's git tools) and just... get work done without extra headaches caused by VCS. And all that while writing my changes to an actual git repository just like everybody else's, that git tooling can interact with. When was the last time you used a different VCS than your coworkers without having them switch to it too?

While there are some rough edges regarding tags, submodules and LFS (I might be missing something else here), it's certainly worth a try.

haha, not interacting with a UI is a benefit for me. I do plan on trying it though.
