> The TUI that jj uses for interactive changes, `scm-record`, is fine but not great.

The change selection TUI is one of the things that I'm happiest with in jj over the equivalent in git. It's a huge quality of life improvement over git's version.

Could it be even better? Probably... but compared to `git add -p`... it is already way better.

Right, but the only time I've ever used `git add -p` was just to try it out years ago and be like "yep that sucks" and go back to using Magit (and then later VS Code). Those are my actual baselines.

Totally fair, I stubbornly used `git add -p` anyways because the terminal is where I want that tool to live, but I entirely understand why other people have different habits here.
