John,
Bzr is actually pretty simple to use, if you're just updating your source tree to compile. Look at
http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Working_with_Bazaar
under "Using a centralized (SVN-like) workflow" to see how easy it is (pretty much what you're used to with svn).

Why oh why do we need yet another depository program? I can handle svn. I can even handle cmake, though it is a pain. But why not make the nightly update of Inkscape 48 available as a plain old tar ball?
The leaders of this project need to understand that users like me use a lot of open source software, Open COBOL, Tiny COBOL, Gimp, Scribus, Gvim, Mozilla in all its variants, Tcl/Tk and so on. Most of these projects stick to the familiar ./configure, make, make install sequence. Scribus just to be difficult insists on the cmake route, and I have finally puzzled that out. I can handle svn (replacement for cvs) with a little help. But what is Bazaar (perhaps bizarre would be a better name) and who else uses it?
I guess I will wait for the official release of Ink 48. (Grumble)
