I definitely agree. I have started using SVN for all my personal source control needs and upgraded our work repository from SourceSafe (urgghhh!) to SVN (enjoy!). It's vastly superior to CVS, and TortoiseSVN (the windows client) is very good indeed.
It has much better support good for moving files around as you still keep the history, and renaming or moving directories too.
It also supports branches and tags, and does this cleanly through soft linking on the server (links are broken when a branch's files are changed)
All in all I like it and think it would be a good decision to move any project to it.

I'm thinking about migrating the VOS source repository from CVS to SVN.
We use SVN at work (Linux server, Windows clients) and it has a variety of
advantages, such as atomic commits, better handling of binary files,
*vastly* better handling for deleting and renaming files and directories,
a branching and merging model that is a lot easier to understand (I've
never figured out CVS branches), better client support on Windows, easier
to set up fine-grained permissions, and overall better support (with
continuing active development).
