So is gitless against working with hunks of files because the docs say that having files with parts in multiple states is a problem? But this actually gives more flexibility. Yes it's more complex but that's the trade-off.

I'm not sure I'd say gitless is "against" it so much as it's focused on making the tasks people do every day easier. I use git every day, but I think I ended up staging individual hunks of files maybe...twice in the past year?

(And you can still drop back to git if you do need that functionality. As the docs note, gitless and git are entirely compatible.)

true...i guess for me it's another potential option for working with git like the prezto git module and git plugins for vim
