The main issue with worktrees is that you can't have the same branch opened in multiple worktrees which makes many things harder than the ought to be. I don't really understand why we need that limitation, otherwise the tooling is good enough.

JJ workspaces don't have that limitation. They do limit you to not having the same working copy commit opened in more than one location, but that's not particularly restrictive with JJ since you're probably squashing changes from the working copy into a permanent commit anyway.
