Yes, I did. And why? Because
a) the SCM I use for my projects is my choice. And I don?t make my choice by
looking at which platforms are supported by the SCM. (I couldn?t care less
about e.g. Windows. :)
b) I am already used to git. Why should switch to another SCM if git meets all
my requirements? Heck, even subversion meets (almost) all my requirements
because those are quite modest, and the only thing missing from subversion is
a possibility to have the repository in freenet.
c) that kind of question _is_ annoying. And pointless. Damn, d?j?-vu. No, the
point is that this kind of question creates flamewars easier than anything
else which is why I didn?t bother to consider your arguments.
d) I don?t think that one working tool for a specific task is enough. For me
all this open source stuff is about choice, and I want to have more choice
than ?use it or don?t?.
