I am a git expert and I very much prefer jj. It enables workflows that are impractical with git. It’s hard to even imagine these workflows if you only use git because your thinking is constrained by the limitations of your tools.
Git rebase is like programming with punch cards compared to jj’s rebase being like writing Python.
Well then articles should focus on that if they want to convince people who use git as a daily driver. Currently the impression I get from jj is that it's "git for people who have a hard time understanding/using git", therefore since I don't have a hard time understanding/using git, jj is not for me.
Maybe more articles showing galaxy brain SCM workflows that are difficult under git but possible under jj and are killer for productivity is a better marketing strategy for jj.
I wholeheartedly agree with you. What makes jj a killer app to me is that it allows me to work with source control in a whole new way that just feels so much more powerful to me. I haven't felt like this since I first discovered git after dealing with the pain of subversion.
