- cvs is basically abandonware (all the devs went on to create svn) - cvs is insecure (svn can be also, but it supports multiple secure transports) - if you generally *like* cvs, then svn is a piece of cake Now, there are plenty of people who hate cvs and likewise hate svn, but in general, people prefer svn over cvs. Now, if you are a fan of arch or bitkeeper or some other more distributed SCM tool, then neither cvs nor svn will meet your needs.
