You mean it has no GUI?
I guess that is not a major setback. The people used to Tortoise CVS, WinCVS or Eclipse will see that now they have to write commands and options though ...
Neither do I. CVS (and SVN) are in essense so complex that they need GUI tools to help folks around.
I beleive that darcs is so easy to learn (anyone can copy paste some commands, not?) that it needs no GUI. But then again, I am used to the commandline. click-kiddies might not agree.
Being a *nix guy I use the command line version of CVS or SVN anyway. I find it easier than the GUIs. :-) I am in the minority, however, and I know that. Another point in SVN's favor is that it's conceptually the same as CVS. Any brain-space our current developers have devoted to the CVS modus operandi will translate to SVN very easily. I don't know that you can say the same for any of the distributed managers. That applies to new developers, too. Some random would-be developer who wants to get started is far far more likely to know, understand, and already have installed CVS or SVN than darcs, git, or whatever. That should be a consideration, too. --Larry Garfield
