Corrupt databases.
No way of running it remotely via simple TCP connections.
No cross-platform support.
Slow.
So bad Microsoft doesn't even use it for most of their projects.

Why on Earth anyone uses Source(Un)Safe is beyond me.

SourceOffsite sucks as well. Start a checkout and you'll quickly see that there's no way to cancel or stop it in progress. Hangs are common.

Blech.

CVS has its own problems, but at least it's free and cross-platform.
