I'm using it at my new job and it's pretty dope imho. There are a few downsides, some already have been mentioned (those--horrible--names, for example). Others I have noticed: o Too many VC files & VC Files mixed in too liberally with your real source ("inventory" helps ameliorate this, but still...) o Not the best win32 support AFAIK o working in /x/y/z amazingly requires write permission at /x/y! stupid. o horrible, confusing error messages o no fancy integration with your favorite GUI yet Despite the above and a few other nits, I really like it. Even those--damn--names start to get comfortable once your ring finger builds up the requisite strength & dexterity :) -- gmt "How prone all human institutions have been to decay; how subject the best-formed and most wisely organized governments have been to lose their check and totally dissolve; how difficult it has been for mankind, in all ages and countries, to preserve their dearest rights and best privileges, impelled as it were by an irresistible fate of despotism." --James Monroe
