VSS works AOK for us, never had issues - indeed the next version of VSS should improve things no end.

I know the vb guy uses MS VSS. How easy is that to > integrate into DWMX? Personally, I'd avoid VSS like the plague. There have been two many reports of repository corruption for my tastes. And I believe it also uses the lock-for-edit mode which can be a real pain when you have multiple developers collaborating. However, Dreamweaver integration for VSS is reasonably painless. I've used and liked CVS on Windows, Unix and Mac. The tools are good and pretty much all of them are free (which VSS is not). Many people also swear by Subversion but I'm happy with CVS for now. Subversion is very similar to CVS but supposedly has some useful advanced features that CVS lacks. Like CVS, it's all free. Dreamweaver integration with CVS (and Subversion) is non-existant (there is an extension - Windows-only - that costs money and works with a local CVS repository which is neither use nor ornament as far as collaborative development is concerned!). However, both CVS and SVN have good tools to integrate with Windows Explorer which makes version control pretty painless. TortoiseCVS and TortoiseSVN are the popular ones I think (I didn't like them but, hey, you can't please everyone). Personally, I use CFEclipse for all my CFC development and much of my CFM work too. It has great CVS (and Subversion) support. It has really sucky FTP support tho' and no SFTP support. It seems there's no good integrated solution that supports CVS/SVN and FTP/SFTP and CF! Since I do all my testing locally, FTP/SFTP action is relatively infrequent so I decided to use a separate FTP app with CFEclipse rather than a separate CVS app with DW.
