I use SVN every day. I love it. Merge conflicts are about the worst you have to deal with and the rest of what SVN offers it just great. In my last post you'll see I moved from Vista to Windows 7. Was I worried about my projects data being lost during the move? No not at all, all my code is checked into SVN. I work for a company that has developers in Australia and the USA and without SVN coding on a shared DEV server would be painful. Internally we host our own SVN repositories which has served us well so far.
On the side I am always playing with some idea or another and generally that code I do not check into SVN. I do have my own personal server back at my parents house running on an old P3 with a 2nd had UPS running debian. The code there is probably 6+ months old and due to the recent power outages the UPS ran flat and the server is still turned off. Time for a move.
While conversing with Steve Good I was given a link to XP Dev. I signed up I like what I see lots of nice features including SSL, Web svn browser, private repositories, email alerts on commit and a mini project tracker.
I like it and I hope you will too.
BTW my SVN Client of choise Smart SVN. Cross platform ( Mac/*nix/Windows )
