VSS allows concurrent modifications and merges.

IDE integration and checkin/checkout model are key to me. I strongly dislike the distributed model.

>>I also still have to figure out how to get it to merge; normally VSS or SoS use diff or windiff which shows changes, but the foxbin2prg info says it can do the compare and it can also do merges.
