CVS seems to still be around simply because no-one is willing to tackle the problem of going to svn or something else. Some other projects are moving away from CVS:
Mozilla => Hg PHP => SVN
IMHO Drupal could move at least to svn as it is much simpler to learn than CVS and has better tools for people that want to use things like git, hg or bazaar. D7 would have been a good point to do that but it doesn't seem to be a priority for core.
I'm on svn BUT svn is an old tool too. If we are really willing to take the challenge of a change in infrastructure the family of tools to whom git belongs (like bazaar, mercurial, darcs...) could be a good chance to make a longer leap. Don't any of these tools have good GUI for Windows too? -- Ivan Sergio Borgonovo http://www.webthatworks.it
