There is a lot of small things... 1. Have to know/learn more than one system fulfilling the same need. 2. Whenever I "load up a new system", there are more things that needs to be installed to get it operational. 3. When I sit down at any developer station, I KNOW it has CVS, so again, a matter installing software when I just want to take a quick peek at something (jguild.com on [EMAIL PROTECTED] now as an example). 4. Is there currently good support in Eclipse, Netbeans, JBuilder and IntelliJ IDEA? How stable is that work if any? 5. Knowledge among your colleagues... I have colleagues and friends who are wizards on CVS and I can ask them about any tricky bit (merging two branches into a new branch for instance) and know I get a very accurate answer. 6. TurtoiseCVS on Windows is pretty handy for Windows users. I doubt there is the same level of integration in subversion. I think if I keep thinking about I can come up with half a dozen more "small items", which each is not a reason to use CVS, but adds up enough (for me) NOT to change. Suboptimal benefits doesn't improve my situation. Honestly, I am probably just sick and tired of leaving on the "bleeding-edge" (I'm out of blood) from A to Z, when I don't have to. Maven being one such example. I am not happy with it, but now I have no choice. How much meta data on files are we missing? I have never even thought about it before you list it as a feature. Directories - agree - annoying, but you CAN clean up the server side every now and then. Renames - big deal?, not too me. My recent exposure to ClearCase also increases my fear that it is an over-engineered product, but I may be utterly wrong. I like the fact that 4 commands does my daily job, not the 15 or so commands in CC. Maybe I am just a old-fashioned re-actionist that doesn't belong in the high-tech industry ;o) Niclas --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
