The new solution is better. It’s so good we must get all the big players to mandate its usage.

If ur making an appeal on a forum like this u could have gone with ur favorite feature, or anything else really.

It is not about starting over, like moving from CVS or Subversion to Git. jj is backend compatible to Git, so nothing really had to change on the backend.

It's just that although Git was created by Linus Torvalds it is not perfect and could be more beginner friendly. But efforts to improve this should be concerted, not individual efforts.

And it does not have to be jj. I just think there is room for improvement, and not to alienate old farts it could be called GitNext, GitStep, GitFlow or similar to emphasize that is still is just Git, only with an improved front end.

Maybe Linus Torvalds himself should start the initiative.

Linus? Too tired of the open source community to risk having to deal with it more. Hasn't released anything since 2005, he just drifts on the waves. So sad he doesn't see the human energy wasted on his projects, and doesn't move them into the modern era, where compatibility with the past can be dropped in favor of a much tighter feature set, while also coming free of C/C++. In short: don't count on Linus, he's been a coward, he's too comfortable leading from the back.
