I tried jj, but I'm used to Sublime Merge. Doing version control in the command line was just too much repeated typing, as you keep losing information. In a GUI you always see the current state. You commit, it updates the display. A diff is a click away. Changing focus to type the commit message is a click away. No reason to ask the same questions again and again. Even with aliases like jjl for `jj log --limit 10` it felt too inefficient and annoying. Selecting individual hunks with the keyboard... I don't ever want to do that again. In SM it's a pleasure.

The git CLI might suck, but SM just doesn't. Looking forward to jj GUIs taking off. Or even better: jj getting integrated into SM.
