I found it very hard to motivate a lot of the other features. Many people don't use and don't see the value of tree-based development. See this feedback from a user: https://github.com/arxanas/git-branchless/issues/6
So I decided to focus primarily on features which everyone understands, such as performance. (Of course, many people then say "why do we need this? git rebase is already plenty fast", but they get the principle.)

git-move and git-branchless do some great stuff, I wish this wasn't focused on the performance side to distract from the real value.
What I find useful is not the performance but this line
> For example, it can move entire subtrees, not just branches
The referenced docs mention other great quality of life improvements that streamline standard workflows (e.g. deleting local PR branches when merged into upstream)
When performance does matter is when the rebase operation is a small part of a larger operation. In my related tool, git-stack [0], I rebase all branches on top of their latest upstream branches along with re-arranging and squashing fixup commits and soon other features. When automating entire workflows, having each part be fast is important for the whole to still have decent performance.
