Prefer TFS instead.
Definitely the worst source control I have ever worked with. It's UI and features are counter-intuitive. Though I disagree with other people, you can have concurrent check outs, it just needs to be enabled... The fact is, like other Microsoft software, it is incomplete, not-user friendly, and unstable. The overhead it takes to get one of my new developers to understand VSS is frustrating. I cannot tell you how many time's I've "Gotten latest" and it DOES NOT get latest. This of course leads to many publishing issues.
Highly unstable and lacking a pile of features. For source control this application is out-dated and has been superseded by newer applications.
IMO is one of the worst source control that i've ever worked with.
Two developers can´t work with the same file at the same time and I miss a lot of features from subversion or perforce.
now it's used offen in the team
