Nicholas,
Anyone who hates perforce is a victim of bad education or software religion.
I can't agree here. I'm a long-time user of Perforce as well and evangelized it
over other solutions when it was still so clearly better. However, some of its
processes have become a bit long-in-the-tooth when compared to other systems.
Thanks for a sensible response. To be clear - I wasn't comparing with any other
modern systems, just responding to the absolute slandering of a tool I've seen
used very effectively by hundreds of very competent developers. In fact I've
not used git, hg etc in anger so the open source alternative today may well be
significantly better than in the past.
I'm not religious about the tools I use, and will change my workflow to get the
job done as easily and effectively as possible, so I am open to the possibility
that hg and git knock p4 to the kerb these days.
Neil.
