But there are dozens of great UXs on top of Git already, so if that's 95% of what jj is about then you seem to be making an argument for jj adding very little value. My understanding is that jj offers more than just UX enhancements.

Interesting, isn't it? There you are, and yet none of those dozens are garnering anywhere near the same amount of attention and enthusiasm as jj. And yet, it's genuinely mostly just that -- a novel CLI on top of the same storage backend as git. Sometimes it doesn't take that much to bring about a paradigm shift, I suppose. Just a few new ideas with a great implementation, and there you are -- they've just got to be the right new ideas. That being the hard part.
