I can second this opinion. The moment I read "something that beats the git cli hands down" I command-F searched for "hands down" to find this comment or make it myself.
Thirded. I relegated jj-related articles to /dev/null for a long time having believed nothing was likely to supplant git. Then… wow, actually almost exactly a year ago something moved me to read the `jj init` post here. I read it, it was intriguing, I figured I'd give it a try later that week.
I wasn't hopeful. I have a lot of git's working model in my head. Replacing it was going to be hard but hey, might as well kick the tires.
I was productive that day. I knew enough to completely eliminate git from my workflow two days later. I have never looked back, and now I come to sing its praises every time an article is posted. It's immensely fun having seen the proportion of commenters in these threads start tilting sharply in the direction of more and more of HN having used it and loving it.
