jj is so good, finally a tool to replace Git.

SVN -> Git -> jj

That's an excellent description.

I still remember feeling like a badass using Git-SVN on my SVN-based team, and being the only guy who could actually correct bad merges and restore lost data without having to plead to our SVN admin.

And now I'm feeling like a badass using jj on my Git-based team :)

No LFS, submodules, hooks, or new tags means jj has some ways to go before it is a viable replacement for many organizations

Having used git submodules, I see a lack of them as a feature. I honestly think that a script that checks out a specific commit from an external repository, combined with adding the path to the .gitignore is strictly better than submodules.

LFS sorta works and submodules are just managed by git, and you can create tags with the git CLI just fine.

Hooks are a bigger change, though, for sure.
