One showstopper for me is that Jujutsu doesn’t support .gitattributes (https://jj-vcs.github.io/jj/latest/git-compatibility/).

In every one of these threads I learn some new axis of git that JJ doesn't support, so I really do wonder if JJ should have squatted upon a different DVCS given how much it wants to do things the JJ way leading to folks with git experience being sad

nah, git was absolutely the right thing to squat on - its ubiquitous, so making it seamlessly powerful and easy to use makes for easy adoption. If it was built on pijul or whatever, I'd never have given it a try.

to the extent that niche things might not be supported (yet), so be it. It suits the needs of the vast majority of people. Moreover, if you need those things, I BET you can just do it via git and then carry on working in jj, since jj sits on top of git
