The biggest complaint I've heard, and I believe the reason for the optional alternative database implementation in 1.1, is that the Berkeley DB must be on a single local volume.

Having nothing to do with svn's choice of bdb, my biggest complaint about subversion is its lack of a mature merging algorithm. Still, it's not worse than cvs and there are plenty of other advantages. We also had some horrendous stability problems early on, but it looks like the newer versions are pretty stable. We haven't lost any data or seen mysterious re-appearances in months .
