SVN was designed as a direct CVS replacement, and by now it's done a good
job of supplanting CVS in most places. The distributed tools are
certainly growing fast, but the growth of each is hindered by the fact
that there are so many of them, so there isn't an obvious one to choose.
At this point it seems like git, Mercurial, and Bazaar are the top
contenders, and as a group they might be growing faster than Subversion,
but not individually.
Also, by now Subversion is mature and well-supported, while the
distributed tools are just starting to mature and get support from other
tools.
