    The git compatibility is necessary for adoption and connected use.

    jj does significantly reduce the work interface, but the git compatibility increases complexity again.

    I tried it out a little bit a few days ago, and found it interesting. But given my git knowledge and tooling, I can’t reasonably switch. First, I would miss my TortoiseGit Log view (entrypoint to everything). But also, the connection between jj and git seems complex and potentially error prone.

    As a fresh and independent tool I can definitely see how it’s much easier and better, especially for people not familiar with Git.
