Concerning Microsoft's Visual SourceSafe..
You forgot the part where it (VSS) corrupts your repository at the
drop of a hat, or the part where it's horrendously slow. :)
Hey, I've had that experience, too (corrupting the repository). It
froze integrations for group of twenty-five for three days! MS Visual
SourceSafe might be okay for small groups/projects.
Not really. I've never used it on a project of more than four people.
It was completely inadequate to that task too.
And what version control tool do you think Microsoft uses? It's a well
known (accepted) industry rumor that MS uses a derivative of Perforce
for huge projects like Windows 2000.
Absolutely. Microsoft doesn't "dogfood" (their term) Visual
SourceSafe. If they don't trust it, why should their customers?
I think the best idea for Apple going forward would be to support a
very generic plug-in API in Xcode that exposes the application's object
model via Objective-C, and lets plug-ins add menus (both to the various
contextual menus and the menu bar). That way there could be a CVS
plug-in, a Perforce plug-in, a Vault plug-in (since I gather Mono or
Rotor will let you run the Vault command-line client)...
