The reason I prefer subversion is the development process I prefer 
(which is also used by the subversion project itself):

The repository consists of
project/trunk/    - Main development line
project/branches/ - private branches of developers, used to implement
                    bigger changes before getting them into the main
                    line
project/tags/     - release tags

Under project/tags/, there are
*.0.X/            - first tag from trunk to prepare new major release
*.0.X/candidates  - text file containing possible additions to
                    that release, namely:
                    revisions: (revision numbers of commits to trunk)
                    comment: (What those revisions implement)
                    votes: (Votes of developers in favor or against this
                            changeset, change is applied when nobody
                            opposes and at least three developers vote
                            in favor of the change)
*.0.0/            - tagged from *.0.X to do new major release
*.0.*/            - tagged from *.0.X to do a new bugfix release
*.*.X/            - tagged from *.0.X to prepare new minor release,
                    handled the same as *.0.X (including /candidates)
*.*.0/            - tagged from *.*.X to do new minor release
*.*.*/            - tagged from *.*.X to do new bugfix release

non *.*.X tags are never touched again once they have been created.

Combined with the easy merging of changesets from one part of the 
repository to another (like from /trunk to /tags/1.0.X), this is a very 
powerful and still stable form of development. And sadly enough, it is 
almost impossible to use this development style with CVS.
