Wow, just wow.

>For an advanced git user, it doesn't offer all that much.

arrogant, and completely absurdly wrong. I've used Git for 20 years. `jj` the single best improvement to my development workflow in... well, since adopting Git.

> I used it for a couple of weeks and can't say that it saved me any time or any amount of work

I would bet 5 figures that's a lie.

So despite all this chest puffing, an appeal to authority would tip the scales for you?

There’s no need to be antagonistic. We’re all friends here :)

I am an unabashed jj evangelist and I don’t think they’re lying when they say it didn’t save them any time. Adoption costs might be small but they’re not zero. Some workflows are easy with either tool. And some people just don’t “get” it and struggle to adapt to a different mental model. That’s okay!

I think GP was simply saying this would be a clear sign to them that if it’s mature enough to handle kernel developers’ needs, that’s a good sign it’s worth the effort to switch. It definitely would be! I can’t wait to hear if and when kernel developers start switching; it will be a huge positive indicator.
