You were evaluating Git, Not VCS and Git? Looks like your decision was already made.
It seems like you were looking for a project management tool as well, and TFS is both similar to subversion(easy transfer of knowledge) and fills that need. Why Vista's decision was obviously bad is not clear to me.
- NegativeLatency 10y agoHave you used TFS?
- Sacho 10y agoYes, for several years.

- padseeker 10y agoFor the record I had no input in this decision. When I say we I was saying we as a company. If they had asked me I would not hesitate to at least vote for git. I've used Subversion enough and I have always found the process of merging a branch as absolutely painful. I've never used VCS so I'm not qualified to evaluate it. As for a project management tool I don't know enough to make a compelling case against TFS. I can say that (a) I hated using it and (b) I was not along. It's been so long since I last used but I am thankful I don't anymore. As someone who has used Microsoft TFS and its suite of tools versus using github or gitlab as well as jira for issue management I can tell you that git/github like tool/jira is preferable to subversion/TFS. I am willing to wager a large sum of money that most of the team members at the vista owned company would have agreed. And I am nearly certain TFS and Subversion was more expensive than the other tools. You know why I think Vista's decision is bad? MBAs and finance people should not be dictating what tools should be used technical/coding/project managers. That is dumb. I'm glad you like whatever tools you use, what's with the snide attitude?
