I use SVNX on me Mac, its free.  The GUI is not as purty as Versions, but
works well enough for me.  Getting SVN going from the terminal is
not difficult either really.  If you have Winders users, TortoiseSVN is
still popular.

SublimeText2 is great, you see it used in so many posts and such these
days, part of a modern dev toolkit.  I've chatted with Matt about talking
at ACFUG on the modern day dev tool stack, might be in the future!
