The interactive tools exist outside of rebase. You can also split commits apart as you work on them with for example `git add -i` without needing to rebase.

I've met junior developers I'd never trust to get rebase right, but interactive add was an important tool to teach them.

`git add i` is indeed powerful and lets you interactively craft your index before you create a commit. It doesn't enable you to split up an existing commit though.

Interactive hunk splitting the index maps to the mental model of "splitting the work in progress commit". That may be all a developer needs in a "rebase never" workflow.

Certainly can not disagree :)

I'm not trying to convince anyone here. By now I've sold over 230 copies and I"m getting really positive feedback. So it must be useful to someone.
