> it always seem to amount to that people bother to read the manual and understand the tool AFTER they used a VCS for years.

Perhaps, but I don't think that's true for me (or for Steve). I've contributed something like 90 patches to Git itself (mostly to the rebase code). To be fair, that was a while ago.

My impression is actually that many people who disagree with the sentiment that jj is much easier to use seem to have not read its manual :) Some of them seem to have not even tried it. So, the way it looks to me, it's usually the people who argue for jj who have a better understanding of the differences between the two tools.

Have you tried jj yourself and/or have you read some of the documentation?

I wanted, but it didn't compile due to needing a newer Rust compiler, than is available in my Distro. And the tutorials I found told me to run the equivalent of curl|bash, which I will not do. I don't felt like learning a new language/ecosystem just to try out another VCS, so I said, it's not worth it, I wait until it is available in my distro.

So actually no, and you have a point. :-)

I often just read "this is hard in Git" and think isn't this just this command? JJ has some nice features, but what appeals to me seems to not to be that hard to add to Git, so I will just wait a bit.
