"... Quite frankly, I think most open-source SCM's _still_ suck. I'm constantly amazed that anybody would touch SVN with a ten-foot pole. Talk about crap. And SVN is at least usable, unlike a lot of other projects. ..." [0]
git
small, fast, in active development and cross platform. Fast to install, less documentation. Originally I used cvs with a p-server which worked nicely allowing me to distribute dev & other files across other machines. But was a begger to install. Then I tried svn but never really liked a) lack of clients, confusing setup documentation.
Using Git now as I wanted a SCM for a new project and it was the fastest to install & use. Git also has the advantage of doing the same as svn but with less keystrokes. [1] Can also be used individually as a tool as well as a group. [2]
Having said that svn, cvs, rcs are still usable just not optimal for me.
