It's because CS-RCS implements SCC, which means it integrates well with MS
Visual C++ (which I use a lot).  Someone also wrote a plug-in to integrate
it with Delphi (which I also use a lot).  Basically, I don't have to leave
my development environment to check in/out my revisions.  On the other hand,
someone is developing a SCC interface for WinCVS (see
http://members.home.net/preston/cvsscc.html), so I might switch soon.
