I just don't have enough pain points with Git to move to something new. I don't have a problem remembering the ~5 commands I need most on any given workday. Between stashes, branches, temporary commits I later rebase, and recently worktrees, I don't lack for anything in my usage. It's universally used across both my public and corporate life, and neither does anyone need to learn a new tool to interact with my code base, nor do I need to deal with possible inconsistencies by using a different frontend on my end.

It's cool that it exists, and it's impressive that it is built on top of git itself. If you (like the author) want to use it, then more power to you. But I have yet to be convinced by any of these articles that it is worth my time to try it since nearly all of them start from a point of "if you hate Git like me, then try this thing".

If anyone has a link to an article written from the point of view of "I love or at least tolerate git and have no real issues with it, here's why I like JJ," then I'd be glad to read it.
