This seems to be a common misconception, that many jj users don't understand Git. Most jj users I know were pretty good at Git as far as I can tell. Perhaps you'll find this recent video where Scott Chacon talks about Jujutsu interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsiXflgIC8Q. Scott is a GitHub cofounder, author of Pro Git, and now runs GitButler.
> I don't think making another tool entirely is the right solution.
I considered making the changes to Git but the changes I wanted to make would make the UX so different that it would basically mean introducing a whole parallel command set to Git. I figured it would take ages to get Git to that state, if I could sell the ideas to the Git community at all. By the way, the video above talks about an proposed `git history` series of commands inspired by Jujutsu (also see https://lore.kernel.org/git/20250819-b4-pks-history-builtin-...).
