I'm one of this guys who always want to have an standalone version control system. This does not have to do with my own SmartCVS (was the same with VSS). It has to do with another point of view: within the IDE I need a low level view (I can see, what files I touched; I can perform a diff on a file - the only CVS command in IDEA I use). The standalone version control system gives you a more general view about the whole project. Even in SmartCVS you can easily see, what files need to be added, what files need to be removed and what to commit. This you can't see in any IDE. I believe, IDEA does not need to become a full featured version control system (I want to sell SmartCVS ;-). It just needs to offer the basics and concentrate on other stuff, like refactoring or what ever you think. No one expects a Porsche to be a good car for transporting.
