This is delusional. Sorry, but you’re only shifting git with dynamite at this point.

Problem with GitHub is that the VCS is in the name, so they would have to re-brand themselves (which might end up in losing loads of users) before they start supporting an alternative VCS. I agree anyways, replacing Git is or would be a very difficult task in many cases. That said, let us say I have a team of 3 people and we are starting a new project. We can definitely choose something other than Git, like Darcs (or later Pijul). If we use a project management software that only supports git, however, then that would be a very limiting factor. We probably would just continue using git, or use another project management software or I have no idea. I have used Git most of the time ever since I started using VCSs.

  But that’s what’s so great about jj vs pijul: it supports git as a backend. So you still get to use GitHub and all the things that go along with git.

Git as a backend (with some amendments) is lovely and brilliant. Git as a front end is legendarily difficult to use. Jujutsu has all the advantages with none of the downsides and—unlike the alternatives—adoption doesn’t need to happen all at once. Every single person who I’ve convinced to give it a meaningful shot has fully converted. That speaks volumes.

No, git is not going away. It's not radically rejected. To the contrary, Jiujutsu builds upon git, and remains backwards-compatible, within reason. It's like using Zig instead of C. You get a much better, handier tool, but you can interact with C very easily, transparently. You can mix and match. Things like Monotone and Darcs were exquisite research projects, they tested many important ideas, but could not hope to become the standard. Jiujutsu does have this chance.
