I like that most LLM UIs show your previous queries prominently. When figuring out where LLMs are useful in your workflow, it's nice to see what worked well (or not) in the past. Web search doesn't have this property. I rarely look at what I've previously googled.

I've heard of 'blub languages', where you don't realise that other languages have better abstractions until you've experienced them. I think the same thing happens with individual features. I've seen several C++ folks miss variadic generics in Rust, but I've not written enough C++ to feel it.

I'm increasingly doubtful that commit messages should be entirely immutable. I sometimes find myself editing or commenting on merged pull requests, to help future readers. Phabricator appended a URL to commit messages, which helped. In principle PR merging could do the same thing.
