jj is cool, but the base CLI seems more like a "workflow development kit" than an actual workflow people use. it is great for this - it exposes very powerful primitives! I just don't see it becoming the industry standard without more established bright line workflows

primitives like changes as documents, automatic rebasing, good options for manual rebasing, conflict management. all good stuff, and I will continue using it.

this is based on my limited experience using it for a classic GitHub pull request workflow with named bookmarks, so ymmv. please tell me what I'm missing / cool stuff that will change my experience with it!

- Create tracked bookmark in one command - Commit and update bookmark - Rebase children of updated bookmark (maintain my cthulu merge commit) Basically I want bookmarks to act more like a bundle of changes. Granted, I'm coming at this with git brain

`jj next` feels like mercurial and makes it much easier to tinker/amend a chain of commits as they're reviewed need I say more about `jj undo`
