> I'm 100% on the path of least resistance when it comes to tool adoption.

Different folks will have different preferences when it comes to adopting new tools. Some like "tried and true", some want to experiment and see what's out there.

I (an avid `jj` user) like to think I want some pragmatic blend: I want tools that help me get my job done, and otherwise get out of the way. So if I think there's room for improvement in my workflows (in this case, managing 10-20 ongoing changes at a given time across 5-6 projects), I'll experiment with new tools that can help reduce the friction for me.

Like you said, there's functionally nothing `jj` can do that `git` can't, Jujutsu literally uses git as the default backend. For me, the power of Jujutsu is the massively reduced cognitive overhead of using it. My thoughts more directly translate to `jj` commands and I rarely have to think about it, even with complex stacks of changes.
