Why? I mean, I use SVN by myself, but why should everyone change to SVN if he/she already has a working CVS?

Well, "everyone" shouldn't. But SVN is widely accepted as a "better CVS". They do the same thing, SVN just does a better job of it.

But as with all things - unless you have something about CVS you particularly don't like there is no need to change. I personally disliked the inability to perform certian operations while disconnected. SVN fixed that for me

I'm very pragmatic myself. If CVS already fullfills their needs then they shouldn't want to switch.

I dunno. There is a lot of fanatisism with various projects these days.

gnome vs KDE
emacs vs vi(m)
linux vs windows vs freebsd vs osx
CVS vs SVN
etc...

I guess I expect it to spread here.

"y0 CV5 sux0rs! 1337 c0der5 u5e 5VN!!!" etc without any reason why.

- Sorry, I couldn't resist

We have tested CVS, SVN and GIT to find a SCM which suits our needs and it seems that GIT has won the 'contest'...

Unfortunately, there is no Windows-Client for GIT available at the moment and it seems you'll have to wait for such a client a long long time... - BUT GIT is really awesome for Source Code Management...

Yeah, I was thinking the same when I got the sf.net newsletter announcing SVN. I'm going to switch to SVN in the next months, the directory structure in CVS currently sucks anyway.
