If anyone uses frontends like magit - what is the usecase for this? I feel like git is just easy-mode with magit and I don't really miss a whole lot more. I totally get this is you are using the git cli or some such. Might just be my limited imagination though of course. | ||

rebasing, rebasing, rebasing. I used/use magit a lot, and rebasing is much nicer with magit. But you're still faced with having to be in git land. JJ there's a lot of "rebasing at the speed of thought" because you really are just moving nodes around and "do what I mean" kicks in. There's this other thing too, which is that jj I've always felt comfortable modifying changes that are not what I currently have checked out. With git it's always felt like the first step for any change management is "check out the changes into the working copy". | ||

One obvious case where magit isn’t useful as opposed to jj is if you’re not an emacs user. jj has some additional features over just a nicer UI that I believe magit can’t do, but given that I haven’t used magit yet I am not 100% sure of how that comparison is exactly. | ||
