I can, but I don’t need to.

jj has nothing I need, so it would be changes for the sake of changes. I’m not saying it’s bad, but people do need to realize that their struggles are theirs, not the whole world.

Not trying to tell you how to live your life, obviously, but I think “changes for the sake of changes” overstates it. For example, `jj undo` is a pure ergonomics win.

It’s been said a million times but it is really true that jujutsu’s appeal is something you feel (or don’t) after giving it a proper go. It doesn’t survive compression into the feature list.

Actually I think that property is a much bigger obstacle to adoption than what it does or doesn’t offer to the rare true git wizard.

Totally fair :) personally I used to be a git wizard and I am relieved at how much about it I’ve been able to forget since learning jj, but I understand not everyone has the same experience.
