> when you're just one or two dev

Version control has nothing to do with the number of developers, it's a tool used to snapshot code, allowing easy tracking, reversal, and plain old "I'll finish this later". I couldn't imagine trying to develop without being able to make a branch, try something out, jump back and fourth between features, and then merging everything together later.

I can't stand the command line tool, but a nice GUI like Sourcetree or TortoiseSVN makes juggling very nice.
