# Testimonials

You might not be ready to make the jump to Jujutsu yet. That's OK — in order
to provide some motivation, we've collected a number of valuable testimonials
from both users and developers, which are sure to tip the scales and manipulate
you in our favor!

## What the users have to say

> I've spent many years of my career working on version control. What I like most
> about Jujutsu is how it has non-obvious solutions to UX problems that we've run
> into in the past. Most people may not realize this at first, but the many novel
> features in Jujutsu all interlock to make it easy to use.
>
> For example, consider Jujutsu's support for automatically rebasing descendants
> of amended revisions. When we implemented that in Mercurial, we ran into an
> issue: what if there's a merge conflict? Our solution was to warn users if that
> occurred, and just not perform the auto-rebase. Now, suddenly, users have to
> understand that there can be old versions of the same revision visible in their
> log. They also need to learn how to get themselves out of this state.
>
> In contrast, Jujutsu's solution is to simply make merge conflicts first-class.
> This is not just an improvement in general, it is also specifically an
> improvement for auto-rebase—users no longer have to learn about old
> versions of a revision unless they want to look at the obslog.
>
> Over and over, I'm struck by how well Jujutsu demonstrates this kind of
> evolved thinking, As an experienced version control developer,
> I deeply appreciate it.
Rain, engineer at Oxide and former VCS developer

> Jujutsu is pretty cool, you can even keep most of your existing workflows
Ben, who really doesn't want you keeping your existing workflow.

> Wait, it's not called Jujitsu?
Phil, a Mercurial contributor and user.

> It's the easiest time I've ever had learning a tool this deeply this quickly,
> because of the ability to experiment and undo, instead of triple-checking
> before trying a new scary command.
Scott Olson, a pretty advanced Git user who replaced it completely with
Jujutsu.

> Jujutsu is amazing because it trivializes some of the things I couldn't have come
> up with anything remotely as elegant.
> It's so rare that a solution attacks the innermost core of a problem so
> thoroughly, I genuinely feel blessed to be in its presence. And also a bit
> vindicated in not even trying to learn to use any of the tools that felt like
> more crutches stacked upon a sand castle
An anonymous user.

> only breaks half as often as my other tools!
jyn, ex-rustc bootstrap developer, a place where tools break down all the time.

> I initially started to use Jujutsu for personal repos where it has quickly
> gone from "neat, let's try this more" to "very neat, added to my permanent
> config and automatically installed for new machines".

## What the developers have to say

> I'm surprised when it works
Martin von Zweigbergk, project lead who contributed over 100k lines of code.

> I'm sometimes still surprised that navigating with `next` and `prev` works.
Philip Metzger, contributor, author of `jj next` and `jj prev`.

> The phone number you have dialed is no longer in service. Please hang up and try a new number.
Austin Seipp, contributor.

> As a fan of big green checkmarks in the log, Jujutsu made it so that Github is a pure dopamine hit.
Anton Bulakh, contributor, author of the cryptographic commit signing support.
