The GUI client is for wimps ;-) Most people here don't need it and
don't feel a strong need for it; the command line client is pretty

But it may not be what you need. We chose it because it handles branching
extremely well; if you don't expect to be in a situation in which the code
will frequently be branched into sub-projects/working snapshots/etc.,
its advantages over CVS start to decline.
