Interactive rebases was probably the top reason why I used magit so much. Now I very rarely tell jj to move more than one or two commits at a time because:
- many rebases come "for free". For instance: when editing a commit which is not last (not "HEAD").
- jj absorb and "mega" merges mean I don't need to re-order before pushing https://v5.chriskrycho.com/journal/jujutsu-megamerges-and...

Even before "jj arrange" it was already possible to move several commits at once using the command line. Only to a single destination.
"jj arrange" looks useful and very nice to have but it won't be used as much as "git rebase [-i]" which was required for almost everything related to history rewrites.
