[TriLUG] eclipse

[John R. Hicks]

CVS may not be maintained, but I can't imagine the masses of organizations
that are currently using it just turning on a dime and moving to something
else that isn't as proven.  In other words, CVS is going to be with us for a
while, and the more graphical clients...especially GOOD ones, the better.
Just my $0.02

Yep, that sounds about right to me! :-)

Hmm. I've wanted to try Komodo, but haven't gotten around to it yet.
One-of-these-days.... Heh.

It really is a nice feature.  Especially when compared to VisualAge and
it's goofy proprietary repository format.  Having a nice, clean, built-in
CVS client is wonderful, IMO.

Although, I'm starting to wonder what the useful lifespan of CVS is going
to be.  Apparently the developers of CVS aren't much interested in the
massive re-writing that would be required to implement a lof of the new
features people are wanting.  I think some of the CVS people are even
suggesting that people start looking at Subversion as the natural successor
to CVS...
