I'm soooo glad that Bob mentioned this first. :-)
Having worked with VSE for years and with VA for the past 9 months or so, I
heartily agree that VA's use of ENVY is just too, too, too cumbersome. I
much prefer the approach that was taken by those excellent Digitalkers with
their Team tools.
I hope that a Squeak source control mechanism can be implemented in such a
way that is more or less invisible to regular Smalltalkers. Change
management is essential, but it shouldn't hinder us. ENVY hinders me.
Cheers,

PS> I don't mean to imply that everything about VA is cumbersome. Some of
the tools that are added by VA Assist Pro make the environment downright
friendly. I just have a personal problem with the whole "ownership" concept
and how it was implemented in ENVY and at my company.

How, then, can we explain ENVY?
Cheers,
