I gave jj two honest tries. While first class conflicts is a cool idea, in practice I deal with staging/committing 30x more than conflict resolution, and coming from magit, using jj’s hunk split & select felt like being thrown into stone age. Plus I rebase a lot and get a lot of jj’s benefits from magit’s various rebase shortcuts already, IIRC first class conflicts was the only truly novel thing I didn’t have. For people like me who stage/commit often and judiciously I don’t think jj will beat magit until its hunk selection UX comes close.

Oh wow, they were going for "magic" with that name?? I read it as "maggot".
