Please note that GitHub no longer supports Internet Explorer versions 7 or 8. How ironic. This covers so many enterprise programmers with locked down Windows PCs.

Github's analytics probably says something else.

What are the chances that a company that locks down on IE will let them use github

  In my case, it lasted for about 4 months.

Of course, a really industrial-strength FizzBuzz would be in an SVN repo.

  Ha! You think any enterprise IT shop is going to trust an open-source product like Subversion with their mission-critical source code? It would be in Perforce or MS Team Foundation Server.

    Sometimes they don't have a say. I've worked with several large fortune 500 companies who use SVN, regardless of how much the IT Department objected to it.

    Eh, Perforce is too pleasant if we are really embracing enterprise; makes it too easy to do sensible things like use a git client. No, it has got to be SVN for maximum pain.

      If you think SVN is 'maximum pain' then you haven't tried out the full array of actually bad VCSes. SVN is fine, if a little outdated-feeling.

        Besides the "modern" VCS's, I've used SVN, CVS, Perforce, and done both manual patch management and patch management with Quilt. I am sure there are some VCSes out there I would hate more than SVN if I used them, SourceSafe I'm sure, but I would honestly use any of those others I just listed before SVN again. Yes, I consider SVN to be a devolution of CVS.

      The merge tool (p4merge) is a dream, I shoehorn it into any VCS I use including TFS.
