Another OSS project I work on is considering moving to it as well now
that it's been officially released. It has many improvements over CVS,
especially much more logical branching/tagging-type functionality.
I'm not terribly keen on its method of merging changes between branches,
given that the user has to determine the SVN revision numbers and
specify them properly, but it's not really a big burden (and could
probably be scripted if it needed to happen often).
The docs also have some warnings about situations where SVN could
accidentally reverse out a change during a merge, so the SVN users would
need to take things slowly at first and learn what the "best practices"
would be.
