git is genuinely one of the best tools ever created. It is an extremely simple idea with crazy effectiveness and a reasonable UX that is a bit off putting at first but makes a lot of sense later on.

That said, I'd genuinely be curious what you think jj has improved upon git.

The command line of jj makes sense and is easy to understand. I have to use graphical git clients because I want to cry every time I have to use its CLI.

That's interesting; I find the git CLI pretty intuitive especially for basic use cases most people would need, but I've also used git for 15 years now.

You might be the first person to ever say that! How do I delete a remote branch?
