>Perhaps a few people would be willing to share their experiences.

I have used PVCS (command line and GUI), Source Safe, and RCS.

Personally, I prefer them in this order:
Source Safe -
    incredibly EASY to use and works intuitively
(has command line interface for batches, interfaces pretty easily to most
environments)
PVCS (commandline) -
     Great for command line/make projects.  Most environments come with
an interface for it.
PVCS (GUI)
    The GUI is AWFUL!!!  It is not intuitive and is easy to make a mistake.
Sharing files between
projects exposes the user to too much information for how it works.
However, PVCS is a champ
at branches and such.

RCS -
    Well, you get what you pay for.........  (But this is still better than
nothing)
