  • No staging area and no detached HEAD; the working copy is just a commit
  • Drag-and-drop reshaping of changes
  • Works on existing Git repos without installing jj
  • Pre-1.0, with commands and behaviour still changing between releases
  • The mental model differs enough from git that experience does not carry over cleanly
  • Runs inside VS Code-based editors, not as a standalone app
  • Requires learning Jujutsu concepts
