    Programmers - What source control do you use?

    This one is for all programmers, whether you do it for your profession, or on the side, if you use source control to manage version history for your software.

    At work, have used IBM's Rational ClearCase LT, SourceVault, and Serena Dimensions, and I've used Subversion at home.

    I work for a major online school, I believe our I.T. & Curriculum departments use Subversion.

    I've yet to actually use one that I found to be great / really rock-solid reliable. I've used Sourcesafe, Clearcase and Team so far and they are all bad in their own ways.

    All at work:
    RCS, VSS, SVN

    SVN seems to be superior, but my new job is using VSS, which sucks in comparison.

    At home I use SVN with tortoise client.

    Only used subversion.. participated in a few open source projects that use it... it's good, though haven't tried anything else to compare it too lol.

    I like Subversion for the simplicity ... this after having used Serena Dimensions at work, which is, imo, the absolute worst product I could imagine. The problem is, they wanted us to have our issue tracking and source control in one product, despite the fact that our issue tracker before was fine (and a much more intuitive product).

    We use JIRA studio to interface with eclipse IDE for creating, tracking and logging active time on issues. It has a lot of components that we utilize.
    People that think they know it all are annoying to those of us that do

    I'm a commandline kind of guy so I use good old cvs. Have used Tortoise in the past and liked it too.

    I've always been partial to SVN; it worked well for my robotics team.

    Something you have never heard of. - SCM Anywhere. Its UI and use experience are identical to VSS. I use it coz I am stuck to VSS.
    BTW: Git is way too complicated for me.

    SVN, with Versions (Mac OS X) at work. Git at home!

    I'm a Configuration Manager, so I specialise in version control tools (IBM Rational ClearCase, specifically, which I use at work every day).

    At home I use Subversion with Cornerstone (OS X). Those saying they use CVS, upgrade to Subversion - it was a rewrite to basically fix a load of the issues with CVS. It's still got a command line interface, which is basically the same.

    I've had to support VSS a few times before and hate it; to me it's not a proper version control tool. Dimensions seems okay, but not really used that properly. Think I've used a couple of others over the years, but ClearCase is my bread and butter, and I like it the most.

    I've heard of it, but that's hardly surprising :-)
