SVN 1.5 or newer is CVS done right, if you want the server-client split model, and can waive the "distributed" nature of Mercurial, Git, or Bazaar-NG. For those who abuse CVS as content distribution and management system to just peek at individual files, it may not matter, and the pain of migrating to SVN may dominate, but if you have ever manually assembled a list of versions for how to merge because someone else branched in CVS without laying proper tags, you know why CVS must be replaced.
