That depends on the people and what they are doing, doesn't it? If you are
used to working in IDEs, WinCVS comes very naturally... if you've never
used an IDE and live in Explorer (like most users opposed to programmers)
then Tortoise is a more natural (i.e. familiar) environment from which to
work.

Being the schizoid that I am, I use both (although I tend to spend more time
in WinCVS than Tortoise).

But, at least there is the choice, so people can use what they like.
