You’re making an understandable mistake. Jj being simpler doesn’t mean it is less powerful. It means it’s more powerful. This happens very rarely, but it is the case here. Removing the index and stash as unique concepts doesn’t mean that their use cases disappear: they gain power, because you can use any tool that works on a commit on your “index” or “stash” because they’re also just commits.

I actually like git’s CLI. I never understood why people wanted a simplified git. I’m never going back to git from jj. It’s just better.
