It is no secret that git's interface is a bit too complex - even XKCD has made fun of it.
But what is amusing is that people now have a kind of Stockholm Syndrome, and plain refuse to believe there could be something better.
(Perhaps motivated by the long list of half-assed helper interfaces and GUIs which just were hapless trying to hide the sprawling complexity).
Right but that's mostly because the CLI is a mess, not because the fundamental data model is bad.
Yeah you could view jujutsu as git with a simpler and more tidy CLI.
No it has very significant differences to Git beyond the CLI.
