I can't use Versions & svn 1.6 at the same time. I CAN use svnX (warts and all) and SCPlugin with svn 1.6. Since svn is required and 1.6 is what I am using, so I haven't launched Versions in weeks. > I can't speak for everyone, but for me Versions is simpler than the > SVN support in Xcode, and is FAR more usable than either Subversive > or Subclipse.

Statement of fact: "I'm not getting the benefit of my paid registration while I wait for Versions to catch up with Subversion".

I'm not demanding a thing and neither is CodeWarrior. He did say he's going to share his feelings in a variety of forums, which is his right. There's an old saw about the number of people a dissatisfied customer tells about his experience vs. the number of people satisfied customers tell. It's true. If a person (such as me) needs to use svn 1.6, Versions isn't much use to them, nice ui or no.
