Does no one use SVN?
I use it at work, but that’s largely because we have more software developers than web developers. Are these other version control systems better for web development? If so, how?

Most of these are SVN, but they also integrate tools like web-based ticket management which is very useful if you have a decentralized team.

I see.
Are there any like these that aren’t hosted? I’d like to use them, but would like to install them on a local server, not 3rd-party hosted.

Take a look at Trac. It’s an open source python based ticket / wiki system that integrates with svn.

Take a look at git and github.com. I just put my open source CI based webshop on it and git is really easy and github seems to be like a good service.

I use subversion at home - http://xp-dev.com/ free to have and if you need deployment capabilities then I guess the other like springloops and beanstalk might be more helpful.

I use SVN as well - I just host the repositories on my ASmallOrange account. Works like a charm everytime.
I would love to switch to Git/Github (and would even pay, for the private repositories) but there is no TortoiseGit for Windows yet :(

for SVN sure you need a easy interface(I cannot do without one for SVN) but in my opinion there are good Git integrations for lots of development environments and besides the Git command line is a lot more intuitive than the SVN(Basically the same but less weird errors and workarounds with Git)

versions app for mac is awesome for svn 😊 coda also has some basic functionality but it needs to be improved ... just another reason to get a mac 😊

On the mac I use the SCplugin which does a great job for tortoise like svn integration.
@Michael: http://code.google.com/p/tortoisegit/ this is a tortoise interface for git. It seems workable but not sure on the status though. Hope a git finder integration will come out for OSX soon…
