Oh no! I have a [bad] habit of never deleting anything. Sometimes I am glad to have old stuff accessable. E.g. I never delete e-mails (excluding spam).
Anyway, the main reason I use VCS "alone" is the diff-feature. Let's say I have a working copy of my project. Then I make some "experiment", heavy refactoring whatever. No need to copy away files etc. Timestamps, checkin-comments, branches I would not be able to handle by doing some silly cp. At my home box I have CVS + ViewCVS + Bugzilla making my life worth to carry on.
