citation needed. also, define plenty. 1% of git total user base is plenty in nominal terms, I agree, but it's still 1%.

It's more than zero ie "no one", so GP is obviously wrong.

It's hard to find that information because neither git nor jj report usage information to a central place. The best I've been able to find is number of Homebrew installs, which says ~1.2k 30-day install for jj and ~162k for git, so it's about 0.7% based on that number. Who knows how many of those installs (of either tool) are actually used as the person's daily driver.
