I added [OT] to the subject, since that seems appropriate. However, this
discussion seems very relevant to the list, even if it is off-topic. :-)

I think Subversion is better in terms of features, but if I had to choose
a version control system right now, I'd still go with CVS. It's more
familiar to most developers, there is more documentation, CVS clients are
packaged with most operating systems, it's been around longer, etc.

I think this discussion is similar to choosing a PHP compiler cache,
though. The difference between using one versus not using one is huge,
whereas the differences between them are minor. So, use a version control
system, whichever you decide. :-)
