> Long lived feature branches
I always do long lived feature branches, and rarely have issues. When I hear people complain about it, I question their workflow/competence.
Lots of commits is good. The thing I liked about mercurial is you could squash, while still keeping the individual commits. And this is also why I like jj - you get to keep the individual commits while eliminating the noise it produces.

Lots of commits isn't inherently bad. Git is.
