Seeing Rational Rose, ClearCase, etc. mentioned without expletives is novel! My impression of that family of tools was not favorable. They worked… ok at first.

Seeing Rational Rose, ClearCase, etc. mentioned without expletives is novel! My impression of that family of tools was not favorable. They worked… ok at first. But were slow, and if things got messed up, recovery was very difficult. Also, I once found an entire install of Perl down in the directory structure of a Rational product! I'm not sure I used a pure IDE from Rational though, so maybe that was better?
