I agree, Subversion is fine.  I have clients who use it quite happily 
(so I've used it, but haven't administered it), and PLT seems to be 
using it quite successfully.

I like some of the distributed systems myself (Darcs is nice), and I 
hardly think the anti-bitkeeper arguments apply in the case of a project 
like Schematics, but I'm not convinced that a distributed system would 
add enough value in this case to be worth bothering with.
