OTOH, I work for companies, and they really value their assets, especially software assets. So they *want* centralized stuff, so they can ensure they have consistent backups (in the U.S.A. there is a lot of regulation under Sarbanes-Oxley that requires this stuff). Right now we're using ClearCase, which I abhor because it's so heavyweight...but it is centralized control.
And as for the workflow, svn plugins are "built in" (as in free beer!) to: -Xcode -Eclipse -TextMate -Mac OS X (via DAV) -HTML browser and for -Windows (if I really MUST use it) via a download/install. So I can usually view, edit, and commit files (or my favorite svn feature, a set of files atomically) from wherever I happen to be working. On 5/29/07, Jules Bean <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

DVC is a real win for most workflows. The applicable alternatives to darcs are : bzr, git, mercurial, tla. They have different pros and cons which are discussed at length on various blogs. svn just doesn't make the list; it's not a comparable project, because it's centralised. SVK is more plausible but since it is essentially a hack to implement decentralisation on top of centralisation, it has different design constraints than things designed from the bottom-up as decentralised.
