I use JetBrains IDEs, which many say have one of the best integrations, but I consider it near-unusable; The various features like Interactive rebase and force push are disabled 19/20 times, so I just use the integration as a diff tool at this point. |

Not being tied to my editor is actually a plus for me. I like that the articulating point is the OS. The affordances of a text editor are not necessarily what is best for managing your commits, it's good that an independent tool exists |

So, I've recently seen a lot of people use lazygit and heard very well of it, but I've been wondering, what are its advantages over just using the integrated git tools of your IDE or editor (Visual Studio Code in my case)? Using Git, I need to make commits, choose what should be in them, push, pull, create and switch branches, and I can do all that right in my editor. What else is there that makes you use lazygit instead?
(To clarify: I'm genuinely just interested in everyone's reasoning to use lazygit, no negativity towards the project whatsoever)
