Sure, definitely, sorry for being a bit off-topic, clearly this was about you and your plans and not intended to be about jj itself.

Having said what I said, I do find new tools to be interesting, and I do hope jj ends up being successful. I'm always happy to be surprised by something that fixes problems that I didn't consciously know I had, or that adds new features or work modes that make my life easier in ways that never would have occurred to me in the first place. I was a pretty early git adopter, and it works great for me, but I'm sure a decent chunk of that is because I understand how it works under the hood, even if it often doesn't present a great UX.

And even if jj doesn't eventually surpass git's popularity, it's great to have other options, and avoid monocultures.
