Subversion of OS/X
I recently stumbled on a comparison of Version and Cornerstone, two leading Subversion clients for Mac OS/X. These are both excellent clients for SCM control, although if you use an IDE such as Eclipse or IntelliJ you probably won’t need a stand-alone SCM client. In my case, I’m more interested in accessing the code than in hitting a compile button.
It’s a good, in-depth comparison. For those that want to jump to the quick, here’s the final word from Jade Ohlhauser:
In my first comparison I could see the advantages that Cornerstone had to offer, but it had flaws in the workflow I needed every day. Now that those flaws have been addressed, the comparison isn’t even close. I’m going with Cornerstone. Something we can all agree on is that the competition benefits everyone. Subjectively speaking, however, it seems to me that the Cornerstone developers have made more progress in the last 4 months than the Versions team has.

Hell, what old version of smartSVN Jade Ohlhauser tried? Nearly all bad things he tells about it are obsolete! I never used a better SVN client than smartSVN – in terms of usability and features. Especially with the features it blows away any competitor.
