What did you find annoying or infuriating about this? It’s quite possibly jj’s most beloved feature. Since all of your changes are constantly being recorded, you're covered by your VCS even if you don’t commit.

As a 1+ year jj user now, I can’t think of a single time I’ve needed to use a git hash. They’re there underlying things, but you’re always just using revision IDs.

Haven't tried jj, but one thing that immediately strikes me is that for us who use IDEs, git hashes are all that we can see in that view.

I've been considering trying out jj and thought it could work since it uses git as store, but if I need to keep track of different hashes based on if I access version control from my IDE (primarily IntelliJ for now) or from my command line, that seems like an actual problem to me.

(I'm also used to work in the command line and I prefer it to point and click for many things, but version control is one of the things that I much prefer do approach from the same place I write my code.)
