Because most of the noise makers on the Internet assume that "closed source" must be hateful? In practice, the two annoyances I'm aware of that I don't know how to work round both spring from the fact that its state is entirely server side 1: You can't do anything offline, because all the state is server side 2: You can't offer unrestricted anonymous access, because all the state is server side, and unlimited anonymous checkouts result in unbounded state, which is a DOS attack as you exhaust the server resources. Obviously, if neither of the above matter, it's generally rather good. (Although I still find aspects of it slightly hateful, such as how it doesn't version its metadata, such as read/write or read only, and hence can trip over itself. But nowhere near as much hate as subversion or CVS) Nicholas Clark
