IMO, this is the main blocker.  The eclipse plugin only works on windows
because they use JNI for some reason and have to compile against specific
svn versions.  Until I can mindlessly select menu items from an IDE to
manipulate the repository I'm against leaving cvs.  I agree there are
benefits to switching but they just don't outweigh the pain of poor tool
integration.  IMHO, waiting for svn and the surrounding tools to mature a
bit more is a good idea.
