I think the main reason
rebase --interactiveis not well known is the people shouting "don't userebaseever" without bothering to provide a nuanced explanation of their warning. Many newcomers will avoidrebasealtogether without trying to understand what it does.Git developers created
switchandrestorecommands to clarify the user facing functionality ofcheckout. Not sure if they would do the same forrebase --interactive(something likegit rearrange, terrible name, I know). That would bring it to people's attention bypassing the witch-hunt aroundrebase. But I wouldn't hold my breath.
