These days, all the cool kids are switching from Subversion to some form of distributed version control; git and Mercurial seem to be the ones with the largest market shares. This switch is being accompanied by a simply deafening amount of hype about DVCS and how it’s a revolutionary new paradigm and will completely change the way people work and… well, the usual stuff."
Good intro article to DVCS, particularly from a SVN perspective. Now, where are the GUI interfaces...

"As a software developer, there's no denying that open source software is a powerful and transformative force in modern software development. The console model, and Apple's de-facto first party development model, are about as far as you can get from Mark's freedom zero-- instead, you get zero freedom... So I'll ask again, since Mark brought it up: why doesn't anyone give a crap about freedom zero? "
Some good comments here about the problem with open-source, and it's place in the wider scheme of things, before it degenerates into an Apple fanboy battle.
