A question: I prefer jumping into the command line for most of my git work. But, I'm intrigued by this discussion and wonder: how well do these tools work within an editor? I am using Zed, which IMHO has poor git support anyway. I'm curious if the experiences here are mostly from people who do not use their editor as their main point of contact with the code repository they are working on.

I use jj and zed. More appropriately, I happen to use jj and I also happen use zed, and I never really think about them together. All repo-level work I do with the cli. The only thing I really care about in-editor is recency on a line level, and since jj uses git, zed has no problem showing line-level metadata. There is a slight difference because of jj's stage consolidation, but I don't find that to be a problem, since there's not much of a difference between a line in a staged file vs a line in the working tree.
Thanks so much for this!
I use git gui (git extensions) so I don't know bother with cli unless I have to
I'll use JJ through an integrated terminal in my editor
