No argument. Compiling Haskell on a non-mainstream system is murder.
Even OS X had a showstopper bug for an unsually long time.

Not really lightly used. Git is hosting the X.org codebase. Mercurial

Most IDE's and devlopment tools interface to CVS, period. The
Subversion plugins are *just* starting to come online and most of them
