> Mercurial & Sapling: There are many Mercurial-inspired features, such as the revset language to select commits. There is no explicit index or staging area. Branches are "anonymous" like Mercurial, so you don't need to make up a name for each small change. Primitives for rewriting history are powerful and simple. Formatting output is done with a robust template language that can be configured by the user.
Can anyone explain why people want something like JJ? Is it simplicity? I actually quite like the staging and index in git. Although it took me a while to grok.

Looking at the other thread though I don't think it's more simple. It's just different. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43020180
