### What we like

Independent changes can be applied in any order without changing the result - much simpler than rebase. Conflicts are expected and considered a first-class state that can be resolved, then never come back. Changes are stored as patches which model an atomic unit of work rather than a snapshot or version.

### Tradeoffs

Development seems sporadic, although it is seemingly active.
