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". + +Poliorcetics + +## 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. + +## Spread the word yourself + + +Satisfied?
