As a (former) advanced git user, nothing could be further from the truth. We are always the most passionate cohort of jj users in these threads. This is almost certainly because jj unlocks a bunch of additional abilities and workflows that we've been torturing out of git (or given up on, or didn't even conceive was possible) for years.

On the flip side if all you ever do it git pull, git commit, git push, jj is probably not going to offer you much.

>For an advanced git user, it doesn't offer all that much.

arrogant, and completely absurdly wrong. I've used Git for 20 years. `jj` the single best improvement to my development workflow in... well, since adopting Git.

> I used it for a couple of weeks and can't say that it saved me any time or any amount of work

I would bet 5 figures that's a lie.

> When Linus and his lieutenants switch over and recommend it as loudly as some do here, then I'll take another look. Very unlikely IMHO.

So despite all this chest puffing, an appeal to authority would tip the scales for you?

This is almost certainly true.

> 9% tried and didn't see any reason to switch, and around 1% have switched and won't shut up about it

This is almost certainly not true. People are far more inclined to give negative reviews than positive reviews.
