Dev : CVS vs VSS

Virtual Source Safe (a.k.a. VSS) and Concurrent Versions System (a.k.a. CVS), which one you prefer?

In general, VSS will lock a file for a user, and this will make sure no one will use the file until the current user checks it in. In the downside, when a user checked out the file for a long time, this means that other user have to wait for a long time too if they wanted to use it.

There are more comparisons we can get online, this is one of them.
