I used to think the same way about jj not too long ago. I even wrote a few comments here similar to yours, but since then I’ve changed my mind.

For me, the turning point was realizing that jj actually eased some of the frustrations I had with our rebase workflow at work. It took a while for it to click, but now I wouldn’t want to go back

May I ask what is your rebase workflow at work?

In my day to day, its basically "git pull --rebase repo branch", plus some interactive rebate to squash commits, and it's not particularly frustrating, so I'm curious what you're doing that we're not.

Basically the same except in some projects we are not supposed to squash. So, sometimes we end up with long long histories to be rebased onto other long histories.

rerere only helps so much with conflict resolution but with jj I think it is as painless as it could be.
