One important difference between svn and bzr is ease of setup. With svn, to start a new project, you're always messing about on the server, which probably feels a bit excessive when you're talking about one file in a directory (two filles, counting Makefile). With bzr, to start a new project, you do "bzr init". That's it, you can start working. You can set up the server stuff and the shared repository and the system of branches later, when the project grows enough to warrant it.
Thus, with bzr, one is more likely to be actually using it when it turns out to be needed.
