If ClearCase is held up as a model SCM system the God help us.

True story: a few years back I had a team that where some of them had 
been using ClearCase, and when they joined our team switched to CVS. A 
few months later the company made a company-wide decision to standardise 
on ClearCase. Within weeks I had them begging and pleading with me to be 
allowed to go back to CVS.
