That's it, I'm ditching CVS!

Thanks a lot, I'm going to give it a try Ciao Marco
I never realized what a great system Perforce is, until I switched jobs and have to work with CVS. It is the biggest source of frustration for me. I am trying to convince management to ditch CVS (and to buy Perforce licenses). With the time everybody wastes with CVS, we could easily buy Licenses and still save money. CVS is free but comes at a cost... Speder

What is the command line support like with VSTS? I love svn over the command line.
Why on God's Earth why? The most logical place for any version control to be is to be available whilst looking at your solution in VS2005. Historically we've used Sourcesafe 6 for our Delphi products (which wasn't as integrated but at least you got a GUI), and we're just beginning a massive rewrite in C#.NET. We couldn't really justify a move to VSTS (not that big), so we appraised (but rejected) CVS + Subversion as they just didn't integrate into VS2005 as well as the plug-in for our legacy SS6. We know there are issues with SS6 (some of which are overcome in SS2005), but we just don't see the need to move to something else (when we've happily been able to trust SS6 for 8 years or so). What can you possibly do with a command line interface which wouldn't better be served by a decent GUI interface or better still a source control system which is well integrated into the IDE? p.s. Pre-SS6 we used a command line based system - hated it!
Firstly, I don't use VS2005. Used to but not anymore. And the SVN integration was poor, very buggy. I used TortoiseSVN when on Windows. Secondly, I agree, the command line on Windows sucks and is not worth using. On Mac or Linux though it is quite powerful. During dev I'll have a few terminal windows open and they end up being faster than using GUIs for many tasks. It also means I can use almost any system in the office without worrying about whether they have X, Y or Z installed to help me do what is available from the command-line. I am a command line convert. The less GUI in the way the better. A simple but quality text-editor too.
