Thanks, Jostein. I completely agree that our home pages could use
some improvement, and I'm planning to take some time this week to work
on it. The Arch home page (http://arch.fifthvision.net/) does a good
job of presenting the important points right up front, though it still
lays on the marketing a bit thick IMHO :-).
Wishful thinking land: What I'd really like is for some project I work
on (GNU Emacs or something) to switch to Arch, so that I'd be forced
to use Arch as a developer. Then I could really grok it, and even
write an accurate comparison. But until that happens, I guess I'll
just refer people to Arch's home page and recommend that they try it
for themselves if they want to compare it against Subversion.
