I agree with you completely. CVS is old, but that doesn't make it bad per se. If it could serve the needs of source control before, I doubt the needs have changed that much to require a different SCM tool. We just see new solutions that work better so we naturally migrate to them. My point is that the argument for CVS is probably just a forced, faulty rationalization by the author so he/she can justify writing a new implementation. But I'm repeating again that there is nothing wrong in reimplementing something just for the sake of it—you have nothing to lose and a lot to gain :)
