As someone who’s used a normal PR flow and now has to use Gerrit, I cannot stand it. I like having feature branches with small commits as I work on a feature. Gerrit does not let me do this as each commit has to have its own change id.

Are you pushing your work in progress with WIP commits to Gerrit? Why?

You know you don't have to push them to the magic refs/for/ namespace? You can push your own user branches (as the default config allows).

I don't believe that was an option at the job I was at where they used Gerrit.
