On Monday, the Subversion project is scheduled to release version 1.0 of their version control system, under development for several years now. Subversion was intended from its inception as the CVS replacement and it comes with many important features previously found only on commercial VCS like Perforce. It was designed for better remote performance, and it is multi-platform with a GUI/CLI front-end.

Without better merge support (ie remembering what has already been merged) there is really no incentive to migrate to SVN if CVS works for you.
The architecture is saner but for the time it took to develop it is quite underwhelming :/
For a really great and full of features VCS take a look at Arch (gnuarch.org). I just begun using it but i'm already convinced
What it really misses is a good GUI like TortoiseCVS/SVN for windows ...
