Subversion sucks he;lp

So I'm trying to use Subversion, but I run into the following problems:
1. The Apache mod has to be restarted every couple of days because it's buggy and makes the svn client hang.
2. I really hate the .svn directories inside my files. It's an ugly hack. They mess up local backups, file search, and when I need to manage directories, like copying an application directory into a new one, I have to get rid of them before svn add, otherwise it gets all messed up.
3. I'd like it to automatically add or delete what I add or delete, as I'm always working with the full project.
4. Another problem is when I delete a directory in svn. The directory stays, to mark it has been deleted in the .svn files. But then I can't create a directory with the same name.
5. I also hate how slow is it.

Any suggestions of workarounds for these issues, or another version system that's less intrusive and hackish?

I learned to hate subversion after it deleted several days worth of work on a two occasions (while committing no less).

It's the most dangerous piece of shit since rm.

use VMS

this is what happens when noobs try to do things way over their head

Yes, because buggy servers, ugly directory structure that forces you to use svn commands alone, not being able to scan directories for new files, deleting directories then needing to create them again in a few hours, and being slow are all my fault.

wow you really fail at life. You should just rm everything because what you do and complain about is totally worthless.

No, he's right, at least in spirit even if some of the details may be off.

My three pet peeves with SVN solely as a user are as follows:
a) I too hate the hidden directories because it just clogs all my grep results with noise. Try working on mid-large project (500kloc and up) and you'll see what I mean.
b) Beware if you follow an svn add with an svn del. It doesn't do what you think it does.
c) It silently deletes certain extensions. It's just trying to be helpful, but realise that a revision control app should never delete shit without explicitly requesting.
