> There are no substantial technical or usability reasons to switch to JJ from Git and it's impractical for most working programmers to switch.

Not in my experience. jj is easy to pick up and a joy to use. I like git. I deeply appreciate git. But git can feel like snow shoveling sometimes, while in jj things just click into place.

jj is freeing, because things that were a hassle before are now easy, and other things that were impossible are also easy.

I know there's a lot of hype around for a lot of things, and I get grumpy from all of it. Jujutsu is one of the few things that actually deserve the praise being heaped on them.

You may disagree, of course. But I hope that some day, you'll have reason to be happy about this tool, instead of feeling... whatever touched you off like this.
