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

So it doesn't have most of the worst features git ever invented. Got it.

I can understand the criticism to submodules but the rest of your comment feels like unwarranted snark.

Hooks, submodules, and LFS all have huge followings of haters. I think just a week ago there was a big post on HN about how awful LFS is.

LFS is pretty crap, but the problem it tries to solve is real: version control should be able to control all the sources of the application, not just the text-based sources. Even if it can't meaningfully "diff" between them.
