I'm pretty tech savvy and I *hate* how difficult SNV is to set up, to branch, or to migrate. Git is easier for the average person to set up and move around because of less restrictions (though may be just a touch more complicated because it has many more features) They won't build any more tools lke SVN anymore, but they will build plenty more tools like Git. 2) Why on earth would you be using Windows for web development? Seriously, invest in a Mac or spend the 12 minutes it takes to upgrade your computer to Ubuntu. Those platforms have a lot more web integration, that makes it fun and easy to do development work.

We've been having major issues with Version Cue CS4 (<a href="http://luciddesign.co.nz/2009/1/5/major-problems-with-adobe-version-cue-cs4" rel="nofollow">http://luciddesign.co.nz/2009/1/5/major-problems-with-adobe-version-cue-cs4</a>) and have given up on it. We're now looking for an alternative as we'd like the benefits of version control in our team. Has anybody used Git as a replacement for Version Cue?

And I really love TortoiseSVN so I don't have to write commands everytime i want to upload something. Great article, but I think I will stick with SVN.

Definitely worth a try. I liked it so much, I ended up upgrading to to the paid version. https://www.getdropbox.com/referrals/NTEyMjM0Mjk Give it a try While Git sounds very appealing, I would also strongly recommend Dropbox.

Both seem pretty good. I think Cornerstone has more options, but it's a bit more complicated than Versions. Versions is quite simple and it's a very Mac-like interface. Both these apps have 2 week trial periods so I suggest checking out both of them. I hope this helps :) I use Versions and Cornerstone for a GUI based SVN on Mac OS X. Both seem pretty good.
