I used RCS on 2K SLOC projects years ago already and never found it to 
be "too bloated". No, I could actually look at the change log and diffs 
from weeks ago and see why the code was broken now.

And about the most error-prone. Believe me, I speak from experience.

One of my co-workers used "manual" version control by renaming and 
moving files around (and even now his code is on SVN, he still does 
it - bad habits die hard, I guess).
No joke, but there was not one single version he had given me as "the 
latest" which actually matched his "tested" development copy. Despite 
all his effort[1], there were always "differences" and "bugs he already 
fixed" appearing at the beta test site once I installed "the exact same 
copy" of his development tree from his PC.

software developer is the right profession for me. And so far, it 
worked out for me. :)
