in thread My preferred version control system is...

I've got to agree here, although when you are the sole developer you don't usually need to worry about things like branches. I even keep my agenda and similar files in a revision control system, and I have gone back to view old appointments. As an added bonus, it's a nice way to keep everything synced between the different desktops I use and the server with the repository gives off-site backup without me having to think about it.

I can't imagine not wanting to use revision control for code, especially when it takes so little effort to use a minimal subset of features properly.
