This may not be the most popular opinion, particularly among fans of
distributed VCSes (and I do understand the merits), but wrapping your mind
around the distributed model isn't easy. I can explain to sysadmins who
have never used a VCS before but who have compiled software and can work
on Debian packages how to use Subversion, but explaining bzr feels rather
intimidating.
