Community technical support mailing list was retired 2010 and replaced with a professional technical support team. For assistance please contact: Pre-sales Technical support via email to sales@march-hare.com.


Almost all programmers here prefer the command line interface.
Non-developers like the gui apps.  Doc likes winCVS, VB people like
Tortoise.  The people that build the web pages insist on something that
works from within Visual Studio or they will use SourceSafe, so we
hooked them up with one of the available plug-ins.  Since there's no
issue with swapping between them, just let each person pick their own.

Around here the preference is most definitely TortoiseCVS over WinCVS,
several of the programmers in my group used profanity when describing
their WinCVS experience, but I'm sure it must have some virtue.
Personally speaking I think there's no contest.. TortoiseCVS rocks.
