And with VisualSVN Server (http://www.visualsvn.com/server/) you don't have the excuse that Subversion is difficult to install on Windows. It's very easy to install.

I find this image unjustified and completely misleading. It doesn't do a good job at all of showing what VSS is really like.

The steam implies "fresh". I would argue that it should be cold, hard and crumbly-white to indicate the appropriate age.

I use subversion for all my projects (small and big). It's easy and cheap and it comes built into my dreamhost account with unlimited storage.

I basically point a subdomain to the repository e.g. svn.mycompany.com and create projects under that.

Sometimes, I even use it for documents and with tortoise in windows and cyberduck on the mac, it is accessible everywhere.
