jj undo is great but it's a one time thing. You can't do jj this, jj that, jj other, jj undo, jj undo, jj undo AFIACT. You have to look into the op log and jj op restore for that. It's nice you can get back to where you were though.
The biggest issue for me is it requires active change management (or feels like it). In git I do `git checkout foo` then I start editing. If I want to see what may changes are since foo then `git diff` tells me. With jj though, `jj edit foo` is the to git, state of the repo ALL changes to foo. So any new edits are invisible. So, instead of `jj edit` I have to do `jj edit` `jj new`, then later squash those into foo
I know there are similar cases in git but I guess I'm just used to git so I wasn't using those cases.
that said, I'm mostly enjoying jj. Though quite often i get a conflict I don't understand. Today I got 2 and it told me choose A or B. I did `jj diff -r A -r B` and it said no diffs. If no diffs aren't there no conflicts? I'm sure someone gets it but it was annoying to just have to pick one to abandon
