> However, you raise a good question: is distributed version control so much better than centralized version control that we will all eventually be using a DVCS? Or are cvs and svn so much easier to understand for new and/or low quality developers that cvs, svn, and others will be with us forever? Well, I guess I must be one of those low quality developers, as I have yet to hear/read a compelling argument that would motivate me not to use SVN. I have always considered the source control problem to be solved: distributed version control attempts to solve a problem that I don't have, and never had while working on major projects with distributed teams in the past.
