In what way is that different from using `git rebase -i` to edit a commit?

You can literally jump into a commit and edit its contents directly, and everything is auto-rebased on top.

There are no modal “sorry rebase failed, best of luck” gotchas. There are no “oops I put the wrong thing in the wrong part of the rebase and now I have to abort and start all over” gotchas.

It’s rebase, but without all the extra work, mental overhead, failure cases, and effort.
