I stumbled upon jj sometimes last year but I decided to give it a real go a few month ago. It has already become my main VCS for all my code, even as a replacement of git.

does things right:

• undo that works
• versioned working copy (restore a deleted file to a previous version)
• jj git fetch removes local branches when the remote is removed
• jj log shows what is useful by default without noise
• rebase of trees
• rebase of multiple branches
