Most of the stuff in the article I already know but it's still nice to have a document that you can point folks to who aren't familiar with these things. I think one interesting point from the article is that CVS is from the 80s, SVN from the 90s, and git from the 2000s.

The past decade had no major VCS show up, but rather was characterized by the success story of git replacing everything else. Gcc's and LLVM's migration to git isn't that far in the past at all. So I wonder, as the last decade lacked a major leap in VCS technology, can VCS be considered a solved problem now?

I recently read on hn a comment saying that Linux will be the last OS. Is git the last VCS?
