I am very excited about this tool despite agreeing with what you wrote here. The reason for that is that most of the time when I'm resolving huge numbers merge conflicts... I don't give a shit about details like field order. I just want to get some code that's functionally correct at p<0.05 so I can figure out what performance characteristics my old feature branch would have if I resurrected it. Or I want to kick off the slow integration tests ASAP. 9/10 times it's that kind of thing. The 1/10 times where I'm like "OK now I actually wanna merge this code, I have to look over the resolutions, I will upload them to Gerrit/GitHub and do a self-review" I am more than happy to spend 20 minutes correcting order etc. Or I'll happily just switch this tool off and do a totally manual merge. So yeah I think it just comes down to usecase.
