The secret of how to be miserable is to constantly expect things are going to happen the way that they are "supposed" to happen.
You can have faith, which carries the understanding that you may be disappointed. Then there's being a willfully-blind idiot, which virtually guarantees it.

Thanks for the input so far guys!
I am pretty much dead against the exclusive lock model. Its one of our (many) issues with VSS. I can see its uses for a class where merging is pretty much just not an option (e.g. horrible, complex spaggetti code - of which we have some), but its a nice addition if they support both models rather than exclusively one or the other.
Does anyone have any experience of Perforce, StarTeam, BitKeeper, ClearCase or Microsoft Team System? Anyone used a commercial SVN version? Is it worth paying the extra cash?

I used both Clearcase and Perforce( well known as P4 - dont know why they call it like that!). Perforce has all good features of Clearcase and even more. Now there are many tools integrated with p4 for defect tracking, code review etc. It makes my job lot easier. i liked it very much except for following reasons: Compared to clearcase it requires lot of memory on client machine (bcos all project files to be syced - it keeps a local copy for editing etc.. unlike Clearcase where vobs are created on server for each client and at any point all code chages will be safe on the server.. In P4, there are chances you may loose your code if you loose your laptop ).
Also, It is bit slow.
Other few small diffs i remember.. No tree view of checked out files.( i dont think it is necessary anyway..)
My development setup contains: [IntelliJIDEA+P4+DevTrack+CodeStriker]
How easy did you find Clearcase to administer?
Thanks

Why does your bag say "bombs"? The reason I ask is that my bag says "tiny ads" and it has stuff like this:
