Issues with 'current' (2013) TFVC, as far as I'm concerned: - Slow as molasses for every operation - No offline commits.

Issues with 'current' (2013) TFVC, as far as I'm concerned: - Slow as molasses for every operation - No offline commits. You do have 'client workspaces' now, which just basically means that the broken and insane 'The server remembers your last known state' goes away and you have something similar to svn: A local 'baseline' - Branches are 'copies' - Merges are a PITA - Conflicts are a PITA - Depending on what you're doing you probably _WILL_ need to get a specific version (and yeah, please overwrite) because get latest is broken/doesn't work (probably not relevant for client/offline workspaces anymore) - (The UI is terrible. Far worse than the git CLI could ever be, in my world) So, my preferences: - Git - Any other DVCS - SVN - CVS - TFVC, SourceSafe etc., because they're the same thing in terms of usability for me (now, safety/stability is something else. TFVC would probably win when we check out the camera at the finish line). It is really, really limited and bad.
