Very cool, congrats Scott!

I have been getting very into jj over the last few weeks, which is larger in scope, but also currently uses git as a backend of sorts and supports similar workflows. Do you have any thoughts/opinions/comparisons to it?

EDIT: I just mentioned this in the jj Discord and schacon is already in there, I didn't realize!

I think jj is super cool. But I like the idea of a killer GUI that makes so many things so fast and easy to do that I would use it instead of the cli. Ive never used a git gui for more than a day. Ive used GB daily for months and I love my dogfood.

But re:jj, Im pro anyone trying to do interesting things around VCS/Git. Its been a very long time of general complacency.

Cool, thanks! I am also in the "never used a git gui for more than a day" camp, so that makes a ton of sense! Looking forward to giving this a shot.
