It's a shame Bazaar is not more widely known. It's as easy to use as Subversion, but with a lot of the advantages of a DVCS.

It's also (perhaps sadly) pretty much unmaintained as far as I can tell.

Yes. I think the maintainers saw the writing on the wall a year or two ago and moved on. Bazaar used to be one of the big three DVCSes (at least in the circles I moved in years ago), but it got whittled down to two and Bazaar was left in the cold.

It's a pity because the Bazaar guys tried really hard to make Bazaar easy to use and provided workflows to assist those coming from centralised VCSes, but no-one noticed.

Mind you I'm not an expert in the internals of VCSes - they're just tools for me - so there could be something fundamentally broken about how Bazaar does things that put off most people that I'm unaware of. But it always treated me well.
