One thing I love about DVC is that it doesn't need its own server. I can just push/pull files via SSH. I don't really want one more service that I need to keep running. I also happen to have a lot of space available to me on a server I can't install extra services on, so oxen requiring that is a deal breaker for me.

This is the real deal breaker for me. Dvc is super slow but it works with S3 (one of the greatest technologies built in last 15 years). At our company, we've written own (10x) faster version of dvc for commonly used features.
We have working with an S3 backend in the upcoming features, agree it's essential.
Good feedback, we're working on more streaming features as well as supporting different backends for the CLI.

Any other features you would find useful or a dealbreaker?

Perhaps this is outside the scope of what Oxen aims to do, but I like that DVC has a way for me to specify scripts and dependencies and then decide what needs to be regenerated (and what doesn't) when dependencies change.
