Jujutsu for everyone

I haven't yet given jj a proper trial, so pardon the ignorance. All I've seen are conveniences regarding the working the copy. Besides the subjectively terrible UI, my biggest gripes with Git have to do with collaboration. A rebase may unintentionally overwrite someone's work. A force-push to trunk breaks every other developer's working copy. With "distributed" being in the name of this whole class of VCSes, I would expect that such things just wouldn't happen, but here we are. As I understand it, jj inherits all of these problems and adds better concepts and UI for manipulating the working copy. I'm not sure this alone is a good enough justification for a switch. Of all the Git's features I use a tiny, proven subset and stay on the beaten path. It makes it bearable enough.

I am think you are misunderstanding the entire premise of git. There is no "force push to trunk breaks every other developers' working copy." There is no central repo/trunk where all the commits are pushed. You are probably thinking of svn.

In git, your repo is the canonical repo and that is where you work. You work on a new feature and when you are ready, you "git format-patch" and "git send-email" to the community via the mailing list or other developers. A discussion may happen and people may or may not decide to apply the patch to their own repositories, with "git am." This doesn't break every other developers' working copy because they decide how to apply the patches they got in their email. No central repo, no trunk, guaranteed by the d in git dvcs.
