I have Luddite feelings reading about alternatives to Git.
As an industry we have soooo many languages, frameworks, tools, distros etc. It's like we are pre metric system or standardization on screw thread sizing.
I am really happy that at least for VCS, we have a nearly universal solution in Git, except for the big tech folks.
Sure, jj might solve some issues, but once it gets serious traction, all the tooling that works with e.g. repo analysis will need to start supporting git and jj. More docs need to be created, junior developers will need to learn both systems (as git is not going anywhere).
Given all the downstream effects, I do not think introducing another VCS is a net positive.
