Ten years ago I was told to never use Git submodules.

Five years ago I inherited a project that had four repos sharing a Git submodule.

Now I tell people to never use Git submodules.




I think it very much depends how you use them. A great option to manage submodules is TwoSigma's "git-meta" https://github.com/twosigma/git-meta.

There's also just "meta" which is a cleaner way to approach the functionality of submodules https://github.com/mateodelnorte/meta.
