(I know becuase I'm also using it extensively) However, I think that perhaps GNU Arch deserves to win because: 1. It's also supposed to be very nice. 2. Its main developer (Tom Lord) is desperately in need of cash, as he is currently unemployed. (or at least was the last time I checked). This is despite the fact that I'm actually using Subversion where I can, and CVS where I must. Of course, Subversion was not nominated, and it has no problem of funds, because a large part of its development is sponsored by Collab-Net. (and it otherwise has plenty of volunteers who don't need to be supported).
