I didnt say it is not for Developers.
I mean TFS should be preferably used by Build engineers because of its features.

No: used TFS as a developer for a few years and it does a good job. Used Subversion in the past and it was fiddly and unpredictable so perfectly suited for white board project managers.

Thank Mark.
I also have similar experience for TFS & SVN as yours.

SVN is to people with modest hardware available | TFS is to people with money
Assuming self hosting, anyway.

Did it mean all the options/features available in TFS is also available in SVN?
|
|
|
|
|
NO, I think TFS has a load more features, but you need to look at what you want or need - it's not worth spending money and additional time to learn to use features you don't need

After managing TFS (while doing lots of coding as well) I switched over to SVN when I started working at a new company. I have to say I that I much prefer TFS. In SVNs defence, I have very little working experience with it. Having said that, I found that TFS is a full ALM solution which made collaboration and deployments much, much easier than anything else I've used.
My plan is to live forever ... so far so good

I have used SVN, TFS, Mercurial, VSS (and I agree, completely terrible) and IBM's Mercury over the many years I have been in the IT profession.
Whatever failings or drawbacks SVN may have, one area in which it really shines where the others don't, with the exception of Mercurial, is that it is completely invisible for use by small teams. You update your code-base in the morning and commit your updates at night letting SVN figure out the complexities of merging many user updates to the same modules at the same time. And all of this can be done through the Explorer plugin, "TortoiseSVN". No mess, no fuss.
True there are issues with SVN but there are issues with all SCM systems. Think TFS is better? Try changing the name of your project and storing it in the same place...

TFS is only for Build/Deployment engineers who can live with easy and simple canned functionality. My experience using it for build/deployment was miserable because we didn't fit the cookie-cutter methodology MS provided. I absolutely hate TFS.

It just how you use it....
Both can be used just like a a sharepoint, just to store your files and have a single changeset-checkin id ot track changes...
If you only care about storage and share SNV could be the best option, cause you don't need to install Visual Studio to access it.... but then the integraton with your Development IDE can be a pain.
If you want to have more tracking, tickets and better contront on version and branches it's better to use TFS, it integrates all in one single IDE, ok you can add third party solution to your SVN and get the same but then you need to maintain 2 products....
So, both are good, at the end it's it just how you use and what can you pay for... (SVN with Trac is beautiful)

Next week is Mrs Wife's birthday.
I'm looking for some cake or cookies that considered to be romantic...
Recipe or even name should help...
(Here this considered to be romantic, but already used it 2 years ago...

Um. You did check his country of record?
And you know that Israelis aren't allowed to eat chocolate?

Well, now we know that DBC isn't Israeli

Sorry - but no...

You need to get organised, if you’re going to do the job properly.
I know where you can get an overused whiteboard, if it will help.

The cookies you get with a cup of coffee after an expensive dinner at a restaurant of her liking.

You can get cookie cutters in "manly" shapes and make your own.

Try This[^]
You can substitute any chocolate and fruit - it's awesome!

Nice. She loves chocolate - a lot...

Me too. I would personally exchange the vegetables for more chocolate, but you wanted it romantic.
