To be clear, jj retains the full power of the git index, without having one. To use git terms, the index is just a normal commit like any other. The index is one of my favorite features of git. I don’t miss it in jj.

For one… the index! It’s not part of your history. The working directory can contain dirty state that’s not tracked anywhere. Those are the big two off the top of my head.
> how is this a disaster?
I’m on your side with this one, and jj supports both just fine.
