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.
