I have never been a friend of monotone but got used to it. But it reminds you that it is still not ready for complex projects. Just to mention the pain that updates are not atomic operations and problems during an update end up in the pain of a broken repository. Another major problem is that a monotone update sometimes causes a very time consuming database update. Waiting half a day on a really fast machine for the database to become usable again is a real showstopper.
