Jujutsu has Git as a supported backend, so it does not need network effects to succeed. I was using it full time at Oxide for many months before anyone else was aware of it.

More generally: I am more knowledgeable about version control than 99% of people (having worked on it full time for many years). The Git UI is well beyond papercut bad. Many advanced users use the rebase-interactive workflow, which is broken in numerous ways.

See my testimonial (top one on the page) for an example where Jujutsu's rethink of VCS basics leads to an incredibly coherent interface. Jujutsu is built by world-class developers who have spent many years working on other systems and drawing lessons from them, and it shows! https://martinvonz.github.io/jj/latest/testimonials/

If I were introducing version control to someone new, I would not be proud of introducing Git and would constantly apologize for it. I'd be proud of introducing Jujutsu.
