alt Hacker NewsI worked with JJ for half a year, and it was great. However, I've since decided to go back to GIT because of compatibility with existing workflows and AI tools.
Pre-commit hooks are not possible [yet?], which is a minor inconvenience. Worse, workspaces/worktrees use a different mechanism. This causes like Claude Desktop (which uses worktrees) to break. Also Claude and other agents are always confused about JJ and fall back to git too often.

My team is asking the same. We are using jj with great success but tools like auto claude are designed around git and git worktrees. It's a shame - at least with git backend we can sort of make things work together.
Seeing similar comments across different articles and technologies and it makes me wonder how much AI is going to hold back the adoption of new technologies going forward.
