I also like to some good answers for a bunch of questions.

What are the benefits and strengths of bzr/git/hg better over svn? What
problems do the distributed version control systems solve that svn
doesn't solve.

Why should we choose bzr/git/hg over bzr/git/hg?

Do the new feature justify the extra burden on the core developers to
learn a new VCS and new tools?

Does a new VCS come with all the nifty and handy small tools, OS
integration and IDE integration I like? I definitely don't want to loose
the explorer integration of tortoisesvn on Windows or meld on Unix. The
new VCS may have reached version 1.0 but do they come with the rich tool
set? Although I'm a CLI fetishist I still like a decent GUI for some tasks.
