> Some people just enjoy being contrarian.

I have recently posted some critical questions. I didn't do that because I "enjoy being contrarian" (rather me enjoying a discussion). I did that to flesh out, what the benefits of JJ are. I think VCSs are interesting, I think Git has some issues, but in my opinion most problems are caused by a misguided mental models, I haven't/can't tried JJ. Most things I heard were workflows that are claimed are not possible in Git, but are possible and most-times only a few commands. There are other design choices which I disagree with and which might bother me.

("haven't/can't tried JJ" meaning I enjoy running a stable distro, but wouldn't mind compiling it myself. But Rust and Rust software is a fast moving target, so it is a hassle to deal with if you aren't invested in it's ecosystem. Also it violates the GNU standard, which makes it unfriendly for endusers, but this seams to be the norm nowadays.)
