I'm surprised no one's mentioned the utility "stow". It lets you install things to their own /usr/local-style hierarchy and will symlink all the files for you. That way you can easily remove something after you've deleted the source direc

Macports generally builds the latest version from source. I've had problems with a few things in the past needing manual patching, but overall I like it. You can keep multiple versions installed, but only one can be active at a time. Fink

I've spent years customizing vim and most of it was long after I first started using it.

I call ad hominem on the age attacks. Comparing how emacs and vi/vim are different from other editors and like saying no one will ever use lisp because of all the parentheses.

I say svn+ssh is perfect for working solo. It can also work great for a team (multiple ssh keys, one per user, single 'svn' account on the server). That is, until you want to add some authorization/access control--that's a job for Apache +
