I tend to prefer IBM i projects over RSE because the filtering is easier to use. I create a new project, choose a few sources that I want to work with, and am able to edit, compile, edit, compile, ... as much as I want.
The real issue for source control is this, I have not been able to determine how that would work in an SVN environment where the entire application is in the project. I want to just check out a few objects into my project and work exclusively with those, then check them back in. Not sure if RTC works that way or not, but I don't see using SVN due to the sheer size of the applications I work on.

David, your bias is showing. You did promise to be open minded :-)
I don't see where a bias is involved ... we're not talking about the SVN client project ... we're talking about IBM i project's in RDp.
I think that the SVN project you're looking into should hook into the RSE and *NOT* IBM i Projects, as IBM i Project's isn't a _natural_ way for IBM i developers to work.
IBM i project's present a development model that isn't natural for IBM i developers. IBM i developers edit, compile, test, edit, compile, test, (repeat until it works).
They don't edit, edit, edit, edit, compile, test, done.
