My previous employer had standardized on ClearCase... Probably
because the cost could be billed to the customer as part of the contract
(and a customer that probably feels comfortable with big commercial
version control and /reporting/ tool).
RCS, Update [really old -- as I recall, it required columns 72-80 to
store its versioning data; and how many people worry about a 72 column
limit even in FORTRAN?], and the like tend to (my experience) fall apart
if given binary files -- not just source (text) files. I believe that
program used ClearCase to also archive each /build/, rather than just
the status of the sources and makefiles needed to recreate the build.

Well... I actually had an unofficial (the "free" version) of
GNAT/GPS installed on my system at work (nice of GNAT to have an
"install for current user" that didn't need admin)[If I really pushed, I
could maybe have gotten the $$$$ support version -- we were paying for
the support for Solaris&SunOS]. I'd found that GPS ran faster, accessing
ClearCase internally, for editing files than running GPS on the Sun
boxes... I did have to do the build on the Sun, but that was done by
just opening an X session on the Sun next to my WinXP box and invoking
clearmake.
