I thought everyone..
..used either CVS or, for frames, whatever the vendor system was. I had a little experience with CVS and it was easy to use and seemed to work. Since it's old as the hills, why is it not used?

It's not a "vendor"
Some people still need a brand to make a decision.

Re: It's not a "vendor"
I meant - whatever system shipped with the frame. I once had to implement a CC system for VMS, and the choice was the native VMS system (CCS? something like that) or CVS. I chose CVS because it was so easy to use. I can't see what more you'd want.

He meant CVS isn't a vendor
Who are you buying it from? Who do you sign a contract with? Who do you call when it doesn't work? These are the questions without whose answers normal men quake in fear.

Of course how stupid of me, no money changed hands. How could it possibly be any good?

Oh, I can easily see what more I *want*
Revision control on directories and better diffs on binary files would be good for starters.
But "want" != "need". If I have to use a parallel shell just to get those two, forget it.

Maybe this is where people get into trouble - scope creep.

Subversion supposedly hits the directories issue
Along with the concpet of moving a file, which doesn't exist in CVS. Haven't actually tried it yet though.

Same here:
I am watching it with interest, but haven't tried yet.

I'm still waiting
Especially after reading this:
[link|http://www.jroller.com/page/fate/20031213|http://www.jroller.c...age/fate/20031213]
I thought that it's high time I try out subversion. After all, some people on the good ship non-retarded-people-who-should-not-be-dismissed-out-of-hand-at-all-times had said it's quite usable and orders of magnitude superior to cvs.
Oh how foolish I was to fall into such candied words! Needless to say, those well intentioned people have now been frogmarched off the gangplank, where they can bob around indefinitely in the sea of turds without causing any further damage with their wild fanciful ideas. It's amazing how easy it is to mistake 'functional' with 'usable'.

So maybe not quite there yet.

Re: I'm still waiting
That sounds suspicious:
"the kind of 'aha!' one feels when switching from emacs to IDEA"
I did just that, and instead of "Aha!" I felt something like "Go to to hell, I am going back". His other example, Linux to OS X, does not inspire confidence either.

Well, as an IDEA fan who uses OS X - I can relate to him
