I'm surprised at how loved perforce is. Whenever I have to do anything on a perforce repository I think, "Oh no, not this again!"


Sounds like you've never had to do anything with ClearCase, VSS, TFS, or any of those other abortions.

Perforce may be a VCS for managers by managers, but at least it's a technically competent implementation of a bad idea.


No, I've suffered VSS, but that is quite rightly positioned at the bottom of the love/hate scale (IIRC. They've taken the image down).

Perforce had just under 4 hearts out of 5, with Mercurial and Git being just over 4 out of 5.
