The biggest win with csup is getting away from Modula-3. I don't know enough about Modula-3 to have an educated opinion on it, but I do know it takes a long time to compile and consumes a lot of space on my hard drive even when using ezm (the following are in bytes): $ pkg_info -qs ezm3-1.1_2 23135765 $ pkg_info -qs cvsup-without-gui-16.1h 2392189 Considering cvsup is the only thing I have that uses Modula-3, going the csup route would save me time and space.
