As a long time CVS user who recently had to move to SVN, I propose:

Pluses:

- The main reason for the migration was that CVS required everyone
to have user accounts on the CVS server, which compromised security.
SVN does not.

- Atomic check in with automatic tagging

Minuses (please don't shoot the messenger):

- Documentation. The CVS manual tells you how to do tasks. The SVN
manual gives you SVN theory from which you can eventually figure
out how to do tasks.

- Integration with other tools. E.g., CVS with emacs just works.
Integrating SVN is a project.

- Newline conversion for Windows is automatic and cannot easily
be turned off.
