The thing is that magit have a lot of commands that makes rebasing a breeze. Pressing c, then s, will allow you to select interactively (from the commits log) a commit to target when doing autosquash. That will create a new commit with the relevant message. Pressing c, the S (shift+s), will rebase immediately, squashing the current staging area into the selected commit.

Interactive rebasing is a breeze. Editing commits is very fast (reordering, dropping rewording, splitting,…). Same with dealing with merge conflicts (Emacs have various merge packages builtin).

The same speed Vim brings to editing, that’s nearly the same speed you get with magit for git.
