![]() Why does everything need to be read-only. Read-only Files - Every file on your system is read-only. If you look at it from that perspective it's quite logical. For these people they provide the downloadable version. They don't ship it with the Visual Studio versions that don't include a license to access TFS in their product price. Again, for me not much of an issue, I use the Visual Studio Ultimate They might have been able to ship a installer that just includes the Team Explorer bits which you could use if you already had Visual Studio installed. Which explains the large size of the download. Team Explorer ships with the Visual Studio Shell included. How they filled up 200MB I have no idea, maybe they installed a client that doesn't suck somewhere I don't know about. Subversion, Tortoise SVN, and Ankh on the other hand combined are less than 15MB. Size - I guess Microsoft doesn't really like it either since they don't even ship it with Visual Studios, if you do need it, its a separate download and a big one at that - 200MB+. The best thing is that you can use any of the tools side-by-side, allowing people from all sides to contribute to your projects.Īnd you can install these bridges on your local TFS instance to allow cross team collaboration while still retaining one central repository for easy backup and restore, centralized reporting and centralized security. This is especially true for many of the people contributing open source projects to CodePlex. Others, who aren't using TFS in their daily routine, but are more accustomed to GIT or SubVersion prefer their tools. For many enterprise users the ability to use TFS is great, they use it in their daily job and it's their tool of choice. Not because they hate TFS as much, but because they want as many people to use their open source sharing tool for sharing Microsoft/.NET related projects. Not really a problem with TFS, it's just an indication that others feel the same way as I do.Īnd now they're adding GIT support as well. Joe's complaintsĬodePlex - First there was the SVN bridge (yes, someone hated TFS enough to make a product to make it look like something else) then Microsoft just caved and supported SVN directly. Some of them are just true, and I won't put too much effort in those, but some I just don't agree with. I'll first touch upon the items brought forward by Joe. As a response to Joe Ferner's post on why he dislikes TFS. ![]()
