I used to think like this, but then I realized: jj-mode.el exists[0] and you can still use magic since it's still a git repo underneath. Seriously, don't let this hold you back. [0]: https://github.com/bolivier/jj-mode.el

In Git Rebase for the Terrified

Quekid5·Nov 10, 2025

Magit[0] is so good that I haven't felt any real need to use jj... yet. I'm sure I'll switch if it gets emacs integration of a similar level to magit, but the one I tried[1] isn't quite there yet. [0] Well, plus git-mediate for solving conflicts [1] https://github.com/bolivier/jj-mode.el

In The lazy Git UI you didn't know you need

wry_discontent·Oct 14, 2025

If you use Emacs, there's a mode similar to magit that's under active development: https://github.com/bolivier/jj-mode.el

In Switch to Jujutsu Already: A Tutorial

You will be probably excited to give https://github.com/bolivier/jj-mode.el a try.

wry_discontent·Aug 31, 2025

I switched from Magit to jujutsu. The only difference for me is that stacking PRs has become simpler. It's also made me more conscious of making smaller changes and shrinking what I consider "worth shipping". Overall a positive experience, but if Magit is working for you, there's no killer feature that makes it worthwhile. I'm also using https://github.com/bolivier/jj-mode.el which lets me do enough of what I need with jj from within Emacs.
