You're the other person that used RTC?! I had heard there was another but I was starting to think it was just a legend.

I migrated an entire codebase from a combo of RCS, CVS, and Subversion. This was about 10 minutes before git started to hit in a big way.

I'd call it a dumpster fire but that really disrespects dumpster fires.

You mean it was worse than Microsoft Source Safe? The VCS that used to lose data?

Source Safe just attempted to be a useless source control system. RTC tried to add issue tracking, automation, and other crap. It wanted to be truly terrible at everything.

But Source Safe was fantastically bad. I especially liked that its database file was limited to like 2GB. It was so bad that Microslop didn't use it.

It's the best I've ever used, so take that for what you will Action Remedy System was...something.

Although ive found that Jira and Confluence Cloud madr dozens and dozens of bad decisions and regressions over the oon-prem version.

Bruh, have you used Jira recently? We tried GitHub recently and that was so much bloat, especially hated by our devs.
