I have asked before, how many projects need a distributed version control system? It adds extra complexity to the concepts, and is probably rarely needed. (Distributed, not remote version control, which I can see as being useful).

You can't do anything that works offline without a distributed system.

You can use a distributed vcs as a centralized one if you want.
