I won't talk about the pro's / cons of CVS v subversion, but I can offer our experiences at work using subversion.
We started using subversion after Geoff Bowers inpsired us all at MXDU with his version control talk :-) We have had no problems at all with gettting it working, nor its realibity. We use homesite and tortoiseSVN. We went with SVN as it supports binary files as well as ASCII ( so you can merge word docs etc). We are now storing all our documentation as well as code in SVN. We are also using another product called TRAC (http://trac.edgewall.com) to manage our issue tracking. This integrates really well with subversion (Im sure you can use this with CVS also). We are able to enter in an issue and see the related code change in subversion through the timeline feature. This has proved to be real handy. Any other experiences?

If there's a good reason to migrate... we're currently using CVS and it works well for us, so would need a decent reason to go to the effort of migrating our cvs repos. We're eclipse as our cvs client btw. Can't go past eclipse for ur CF IDE now IMO - I love it. It has everything. Craig.
