Ah yes, here come the version control wars.
CVS and SVN will be loosely allied against GIT and mercurial.
Everyone will attack VSS.
TFS and ClearCase will stand aloof as they're 'not just version control systems and nobody really understands them'.

FWIW, I like both Git & Mercurial and I'm not about to get involved in "defending" one specific version control system.
I do, however, think that DVCS systems, in general, are far superior to centralised VCS systems. And it's perfectly legitimate to have a centralised server with a DVCS set-up. My current gig is exactly like that, but we also get to keep a copy of the entire repository locally, too. This is incredibly useful for quickly and efficiently being able to search through the repo history of commits and file annotations over time. Also means we've got multiple backups of the repository, too!
