"Subversion says it is CVS done right. That's the problem. There is no way to do CVS right."I was going to paste that one quote from the talk too... It's an amazing talk and a classic. Now contrarily to CVS which becomes kinda very hard to spot in the wild, there are still quite a few people and companies using SVN.
I used to be a Mercurial fan and tried to push Mercurial (ah ah, "push") but eventually I saw the Magit light (Git mode for Emacs) and switched to Git, even for my own projects.
And, well, speaking of VCS and DVCS in a "Your Preferred Text Editor" thread... Is there any text editor or IDE where Git's support is as good as Magit?
