Actually I find this tutorial to make a really good point in introducing it Jujutsu [1] without implying that "if you don't know it you don't know the Truth/haven't seen the light/are a peasant".

The author starts by saying that they actually have no issue with the git CLI, which is exactly my case.

I started trying jujutsu and until now, I can describe the feeling as an ergonomic keyboard: I am fine with any keyboard, really, it's not that some keyboards are "hard to use". Nobody would (should?) say "with a cheap keyboard, you can't type fast enough to be efficient, but with this ergonomic keyboard, you will be faster". But one may find that an ergonomic keyboard is more comfortable for them, or that it sounds a bit better or feel a bit better.

There is no real need to change keyboard if you like yours. It doesn't mean that it's impossible to find another keyboard that would be more pleasant to use.

JJ may be that (for me, but again I'm just starting): it seems equivalent to git CLI (as in, it's not a heavy GUI or a VScode plugin: it's really a CLI) and it feels like it may be more ergonomic.

And at the very least, it's fun to try.
