Which cases does lazygit not handle well? Asking because I'm working on something similar, although probably simpler and with less features [0].

When I think about the situations where I don't use lazygit, it is when I am unsure of what I am doing and therefore unsure what lazygit is doing. Almost everything I normally do with git, I can do with lazygit, but there are things I am not confident about. Squashing commits versus picking and do they go up or down, etc? Rebasing. I tend to go to command-line git in those cases, not because lazygit does not handle them but because I don't. :-)

The crucial advantage of lazygit for me is the "situational awareness" I gain in one window - more than any added functionality. The other take away is for your tools to be utterly trustworthy. :-)

Gotcha, thanks.
