With the kind of git workflow you describe, bringing StGit into your tooling/workflow may not be worthwhile.

I'd say if you wanted to do these kinds of stack manipulations a little bit faster or with a little less cognitive overhead (e.g. named patches vs SHA1 hashes), then investing in StGit might pay off.

I generally would agree that using StGit isn't going to be a slam-dunk win for someone who already has a capable workflow using interactive git rebase.

Can you explain what your tool does to someone who knows what an interactive rebase is? I don't get much more from your blurb than "we reimplemented interactive rebase for some reason", but I'm sure you do something different or unique...
