I think if I had done that, I'd be shooting the place up by now.

A few years ago, I actually came up with a concept for a programmer cartoon strip.

I just ran into it for the first time a few minutes ago (for something that I'm 99.9% was my fault).

I've also got an eye roll[^](done with a table instead of s); but unfortunately(?) I don't know enough HTML5 to try subverting the forum display code into animating the pupils.
The table one was faster but it still took about 20 minutes to sketch in excel, export as CSV and then convert into a table; so they're only something I design when really bored.

Hello all, I am doing a small research in my company to switch from ClearCase(IBM's Source Control System) and ClearQuest(IBM's task/project/backlog management system) to Team Foundation server.
I till now found out that TFS is much more fast in terms of checking out, checking in functionality and have great in-visual-studio interface, also that it's compare and code review functionality is great.
As we use VS-13 and our project is completedly in C#.
I want to know what you guys suggest about TFS' Task management. is it reach in features and also have you found out it's drawback?
Thanks in advance.

We use TFS where I work, but I have to admit that I don't find it a particularly great tool. Having previously used Subversion, TFS (in terms of its source control features) is a bit weak.
TFS needs to be connected constantly to your network (as soon as you type into a source file it gets automatically checked out. If your network is down, you're stuck). Other tools such as Git and Subversion work in a disconnected manner. You are only ever connected to the repository when you actually check code in.
The merging features of TFS are not as intuitive either. In Subversion for example conflicted files are highlighted in red to draw your attention to them. In TFS this doesn't happen. It's much easier to make a mistake in TFS than in various other tools.
For builds there are tools such as CruiseControl.NET, TeamCity and Jenkins that do a better job than TFS too.
Unless you are a large, enterprise Microsoft house, then I'd explore other options. We're looking at ditching TFS and using Git / Github and TeamCity.

I suppose ther might be a lot drawbacks in TFS.
I think some of you points contradicts with the reality. (Please correct me if I am wrong about any).

TFS has work offline feature which will be activated when you loos the connectivity and it asks you if you want to continue working in offline mode and when you reconnect it shows you all the file you have changed in offline mode - This is same in ClearQuest - so that'll not be a problem.

If you have used VS 10 or above, In those versions, TFS does actually suports a really nice (the Best I've ever seen) interface to merge file in, the compare tool of VS is the best, it also support editing the files right in the mearge tool, also the navigation between changes in awesome- atleast heavenly better that ClearQuest.
Now I have not used SVN that much, so may be I dont know exactly how it might be bettern in SVN.
but please let me know if TFS is bettern than ClearQuest in this sense.

We use TFS exclusively and have not really had any issues with it at all. We use an extension to VS called CodeCompare that helps when reviewing merges, etc.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Yes Code comparer is a great tool.
Even in VS13 the inbuild comparer has the similar interface.

Yes there is an option for working offline, but the default is to be connected all the time. Contrast this with tools that don't require permanent connectivity such as Git and Subversion where you only connect when you actually need to.
Tools such as Git and Subversion (in my opinion) are better at things such as merging due to the fact they are far more mature products. Subversion makes merging dead easy, whereas (in my opinion) it's all a bit clunky in TFS and not very intuitive.
The only upside (in my opinion) in using TFS is the integration with VS, but given that we're looking into ditching TFS, it's not that big a deal for us.
If TFS does what you want, then go with it. Once you've driven a Rolls Royce though, why would you be satisfied driving a Ford

Not true. You can work disconnected. When you go back online, TFS is smart enough to be able to reconcile your changes.

See my later reply. Yes it does, but the default operation is to work in connected mode. Contrast this with other tools such as Git and Subversion that work in a completely disconnected mode.

I have heard that TFS is good and getting better.
It is more than a Source Control system, so I have been told.
We don't use it, but that is not because it is bad. We use Rally for Agile project management and Bitbucket/Git for source control. So far, so good.

TFS is better than it used to be and it is more than source control, but that may be where the problem lies.
My source control preferences in order are Git, SVN then TFS - unfortunately TFS seems to be the most commonly used in the companies I tend to be involved with.
Git and SVN don't have tools built in for managing Agile projects but I wouldn't say that the ones in TFS are great. Many people install Telerik's TFS Work Item Manager to fill in some of the gaps.
Personally I'd recommend finding a 3rd party solution (such as JetBrains YouTrack or JIRA) for managing projects - even better if you can get one that can be hooked into check-ins from TFS, Git or SVN.
Just about every developer I've worked with dislikes using TFS - me included
