Must admit, I'm surprised at the huge lead subversion has (I am a happy svn'er myself)..

Not that surprised

Well I'm not that surprised, it works pretty well for sensible sized projects :)

ArX looks really nice. It descends from the original arch (not tla/GNU arch, the one before that) and is easier to use with some cool extra features.

While git itself is "just a filesystem," the SCM built atop it is just about ready to support merging.

And is called cogito ?

There was a discussion that the scripts on top where to be called gogito. Not sure if that is going to stick yet.

Git is a small filesytem designed to buy a SCM in top of it.
It was born after the decision of stop using BitKepper in the Linux Kernel by Linus Torvals, the proyect itself was started by him and now there are a couple of person coperating with it, also there are other ones building scripts that take adventaje of the options that git provides, those scripts are, maybe, gonna to be the next SCM using for kernel maintenance.
The last version, as you can read in this site, of the kernel was the first to be builded using this system.

As a bazaar developer, I think that anybody that prefers Gnu Arch over Bazaar simply hasn't tried bazaar yet. :)

For small/medium size projects - darcs is great.

For large projects I still use CVS (although I don't like it very much).

Arch isn't that difficult to learn.. but it is a chore to use.

That's why one uses Baz (aka Bazaar) instead. Exact same archive format (now that Arch has picked up their optional improved one), sanity-enhanced frontend, plus a few extra features and other improvements.

The model of paying for an SC

The model of paying for an SCM just does not seem to be viable at this point in time. The open source SCM solutions are too good, too well integrated with various development tools and too well understood by developers to select a commercial vendor. Just see how many Perforce books there are compared to CVS or Subversion. Sorry if you have a vested interest in that company, but I dont know any developer anywhere that is not using an open source SCM as their only SCM at this point. I am sure there are some but it seems they are going to be a shrinking population.

I'm not so sure about this, b

I'm not so sure about this, but I don't want to enter an argument about Perforce not being free and the possible consequences etc... I'll just point out that p4 is entirely free for any OpenSource project and that it's incredibly great to use.

Yes, Perforce is very good

Having used Perforce--for free--on open source projects, I must agree with Maxime. Since this isn't the place for yet another free/open argument I'll just leave this as a positive nod towards P4.

It's for editing text but I suppose it could be engineered to version code.
