As does GTK+3, Cocoa, wxWidgets, etc. The toolkit is only an enabler,
the UI designer and implementer have to the really hard work.

It can cause extra work, and what is the point. I think the only use
case for rebase (other than with the svn plugin) is to create
changesets for pull requests from a repository that has never been
published. I tend to publish repositories and take pull requests, so
when creating the final pull request, to rebase would be to invalidate
rather than simply amend, history.

This single most important reason is transient in-repo branches.
Mercurial persistent named branches are a right royal pain, Git
internal branches are great for feature working.
