I say it is dull because it is featureless. I have to edit a text file to
add uers, that's pretty dull and featureless to me. Sure, it's fast, that's
why I like it. But being fast doesn't make it the greatest thing ever to me.

And svn+ssh works fine for *you*. For me, I've had endless issues out of the
authentication dialog in TortoiseSVN (It not showing up, etc).
