# 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. | ||
