Jujutsu replaced git for me in February of this year, except for managing tags, which I reach for the git cli for in my colocated repositories. I find it is much easier for me to create a sensible set of revisions that linearly approach my desired state for the working directory, even if I did not linearly arrive there.

I also use features of jj that are not available in git all the time, like rebase -s (rebase a tree from the root), split (turn one revision into two), absorb (cascade changes into a stack of revisions where the lines were last modified), etc.

Given how stable git is as a repo format, I find it unlikely that I will ever go back.
