But then that's how some people operate, they don't read they just search and Oh look a CVS user let me 'enlighten them', not even reading that I'm using CVS because some presentation programs depend on CVS as a backend.

Oh well such is life.

I still use RCS on a daily basis, to store my shell functions.
Only a young insecure code monkey would criticise CVS.

Incredible. You go through the effort to share something interesting and someone criticises you for using CVS. There wouldn't be an SVN if not for CVS.
If you never used SCCS or RCS then you cannot criticise CVS. It works fine.

NetBSD uses this cvsweb thing, so that hinges on… CVS. I'm not forking Net/2 for my own needs so I really don't care about how 'unusable' it is for everyone because it's only for a UI.

What are some other good web based code browsers that are easy to setup??

And while minnie has some ancient stuff, it's missing the whole Net/2 386BSD, NetBSD & FreeBSD early forks… Not to mention pulling all that traffic from Australia can be painfully slow from time to time.

If you really want a centralized repository for some causing anal pain for everyone, use svn. Otherwise, take a look at hg/git.
