Since JJ has technically git compat, I think there's 2 things needed for it to take off

1. A good vscode extension (there's two so-so ones that I'm not sure are being updated) 2. LLM knowledge. I ask gpt-5 about doing something in jj the other day, it didn't even recognize it at first. When I reminded it it was a vcs it hallucinated half the commands. I ended up figuring it out myself from the docs

> LLM knowledge

Give it time. Once JJ resources enter the dragnet of future model datasets, LLMs will get better at regurgitating it.
