> I rely on the built-in IDE integration (IntelliJ, FWIW)
That you're using IntelliJ makes a huge difference. VSCode's git integration is okay, but I honestly just reach for the command line if I'm using VSCode for a project. IntelliJ's, though, is hands down the best git UI out there. Even standalone apps can't compete with the convenience of having all the features bundled directly into your editor.
From what I've seen, a lot of people have tried git integrations in other IDEs and found that they are missing functionality and the features they do have aren't well done, so they assume that all git integrations will be the same. But as I've been reading through all the jj testimonials here, I can't help thinking that I already have all of this through the IntelliJ git plugin.
