I'm even more fine with software that doesn't corrupt repositories, is easy to back up, easy to understand, and works really well / stays out of my way. Perforce is rock solid and has a long standing rock solid history. I _have_ to have 100% complete trust in my VCS and its backups. I simply can't say that about much of any other VCS out there (except the nice stable old ones, like CVS). Too new. Too buggy. Too experimental. Too full of agendas. I just want to get work done.
