There's a hacker news comment that has stuck with me through the years:
"For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem. From Windows or Mac, this FTP account could be accessed through built-in software."
This was posted in 2007 regarding the fledgling Dropbox.com.
In the echo chamber of hacker culture, it's easy to dismiss new ideas for bad reasons.
