A contrarian view:

I find the use of sub-modules helpful when I want to use separate files to maintain part of the module that is logically separate, while maintaining/restricting the use of them to a single namespace.

The fact that tools have a problem with trying to compile a sub-module can be addressed in the tools themselves.
