Cool, A holy fun religous emacs / vi type holy war.

Cooler, with consenting adults who don't take this too seriously.

First of all (appeal to authority) svn sucks see:

....Linus Torvald's telling google their code hosting sucks because they
use svn.

Of course (for me) svn sucks much less than cvs and I was very grateful
to the svn developers for creating it and letting me use it for free.

Second, for things that I care about, bzr is very not sucky especially
relative to subversion. For example, branching and merging is
ridiculously easy.

I'm ok waiting 1.6 seconds for a diff if I don't have to physically
remove a file before doing a 'svn remove'

Though for me, waiting 1.6 seconds for a diff is not actually necessary.
