Maybe you should see a doctor about your issues then? This is a technical
forum, and I am afraid nobody here can help with your anxiety disorder.

Well, I consider CVS modern enough by my standards, but in general, I
chose software not based on (perceived) modernness, coolness, hype or
other such fatcors, but based on features such as stability, correctness,
usability and portability. And w.r.t source control systems, the ability
to work in a team.
A good comparison would be your and my e-mail program - my e-mail program
tries to hard to be interoperable, but is probably not what you would call
"modern" (text based and all). Your e-mail program (which is probably
way more moderen and probably has lots of shiny buttons to click) can't
even format text/plain correctly as per RFC, or at least, not in the
configuration you chose.
I would greatly prefer if, in the future, you could fix your program to
not send overly long lines, or use the correct content-type where such
lines are allowed.
To find another analogy, you could just as well ask why some people still
use vi or emacs to write code, when they could use open office instead -
"modernness" is simply not a useful concept.
Now, I have a question myself then: Did your question actually have a
purpose or were you just trying to troll?
