I've seen people use rebase like a patch queue a few times, and it always comes off as awkward and painful. This app seems to make that pattern of use a little less painful -- but patch queues are better. I wish more people knew about them as a source control tool.

Out of curiosity, what about interactive rebases do you find awkward/painful? Or asked differently, what about hg's patch queues make them better?

Reading the linked documentation for patch queues, it isn't clear to me how they materially differ from git's interactive rebase. (Modulo hg's mutable/immutable differences.)
