jj edit has good use cases, but it's not the default command you need. For instance, say you were working on some changes but had to change branches for a few minutes to do something. If you didn't manage to create a commit and want to go back to the previous staging area, you would use the jj edit command rather than jj new. It's very intuitive in my experience, something I can't say is true for managing git commits (unless you've spent years forcing it into muscle memory). I never need to run jj help. I run help commands with git all the time.
