I've been using Python since version 1.4 or 1.5. Since that time, they've made many changes, but Python has continued to be a great language. Of note, during the 2004 to 2005 timeframe, they released Python 2.4, which brought a number of speed improvements, multi-line imports, function/method decorators, the ability to invoke modules from the command line, built-in sets, generator expressions, new sort utilities, new string methods, etc. In the face of all the great things happening in Python during 2004 and 2005, why would you abandon it due to a change in their VCS, especially when SVN is so similar to CVS?
