The reason I say merging is the most important feature is that it seems to take the most advantage of a GUI-based program (otherwise we'd be using the command line). If you've got only a few people then it would make sense for everyone to work on their working copy straight from the trunk and commit as necessary; however, large-scale changes I usually keep in a whole separate branch and merge back with other developers aware of the bold changes.
