Haven't even played with it, just stirring the water... I wouldn't mind seeing svn become the defacto... But I used both svn and cvs (excluding checkouts) for the first time in the last two weeks. They're alot easier to use than I expected.

SVN is still new but is already the winner: It will be the next defacto as it is an enhancement of CVS and keep the major compatibility with it (that's important for easy and safe migration...) That's exactly the way CVS overcome RCS :)
-- - when i come to cvs, what was great is i could migrate my rcs with ease - don't care, it will be easier to switch to svn
