Fred, hello!
There's no doubt that CVS is very useful and powerful, I'm just saying that from someone who doesn't use one all the time, it's not really very intuitive. That is, it's not immediately apparent what you're supposed to do. I guess if I understood it better I would like it better, maybe?
Another example of something that is very powerful and useful once you get to know it (but isn't immediately intuitive) is Adobe PhotoShop. Without looking in the manual, and with no prior PS-like experience (no prior PS experience, no JASC Paint Shop experience, etc) it is a bit of a trick to get anything painted at all! (I won't mention how amazingly sloooooow PS is, either).
It seems a lot of these programs are written by programmers/techies for like-minded people, and artists sometimes have a hard time grasping the 'workflow'.
Luckily, PB is not like this (too much...).

. For instance 2 or more people can work on the same file and the server will do any necessary merge when a commit occurs. Also, all the changes are tracked, versioned, with a comment. So you can find who did what at which time. You can also revert to any previous version without any problem (or see the difference between 2 versions of the file etc.). CVS is popular because it's free and 'just work'
