I don't think it's pride, more that I don't see the problem that it solves for me. I don't find that git gets in my way at all, and I don't find it confusing. It's a pretty transparent tool that I use every day and hardly notice.

I don't mind other people using jj, but I simply don't feel a need to try it. There's nothing prideful about that, it's just pragmatism.

Pragmatic is using the best tool for the job. Certainly subjectively, and arguably objectively, jj is the better tool in many ways.

My advice is to try it. You should like it, if you're in the majority of folks to give it a sincere shot. If you don't like it, cool. But then my advice changes. jj is probably the future. Adapt or become one of those old-timers who froze their learning in time.

Pragmatic is not bothering to switch to the shiny new thing just because it's shiny and new if your current tool doesn't give you any problems.

This is really over the top and unnecessary.
