I use the CLI often enough, but still most of my time is in a GUI. It just makes the diffs easier, the flow simpler, etc.

As such, I wanted to break into jj via the GUI, and only adopt the command line after I could visualize the concepts and differences in my head.

Alas, the GUI I tried - a VSCode plugin - did more to confuse me than to help, and it made it very easy to catastrophically rewrite the history by accident. I tried another UI and it kept failing and leaving me with cleanup work. I couldn't find a third UI that looked promising.

So, I gave up. One less jj user on the planet - no biggie. But I really wonder if it would be worth the effort for some of the jj pushers to try to get a proper UI in place - I bet I am not the only one that likes to learn visually.
