Subversion is really nice. On Gentoo, it has a fairly easy repository
install - probably true on other distros as well. For some reason,
Workbench seems faster than regular Eclipse - even with "the same"
plugins installed (I imagine Eclipse comes with a lot of stuff that is
taken out of Workbench, but I would be hard pressed to name what it
is).
