I second that. We are currently 'trying' to use ClearCase and it's not working very well...the ClearCase view gets out of sync easily so all developers are supposed to now use the same view. Creating new objects and updating existing ones is slow at best and often experiences errors. The company is trying to go forward with using the Def files that ClearCase contains to do migrations of code (OMG)....it's just simpler if you don't use it because Remedy does not lend itself well to source control
