Hi all I'm the author of http://jadeohlhauser.com/2008/c_vs_v/ where I explain why I prefer Cornerstone. Since then Cornerstone has recently released a major update that addressed many of the shortcomings. In other words, the better Mac SVN client got even better.
I've been waiting to see if Versions would come out with anything to make a new review a little more interesting, but it doesn't seem like it. So I'm going to update my review soon with the Cornerstone enhancements with Versions just falling farther behind.
