I rebase almost daily. I (almost) never merge the main branch into a feature branch, always rebase. I don't see the point of polluting the history with this commit (assuming I'm the only dev on this branch). I also almost always do an interactive rebase before actually pushing a branch for the first time, in order to clean up commits. I mostly recreate my commits from scratch before pushing, but even then I sometimes forget to include a change in a commit I've just made so I then do an interactive rebase to fold fixup commits into the commits they should've been in.

I like merging for actually adding commits from a feature branch to main (or release or ...)
