Pros and cons of integrated vs. standalone tools [closed]
- by eckes
When it comes to version control, for example, there seem to be two different types of users:
those using standalone VCS tools
those using integrated tools from their IDE
In my opinion, both have pros:
Integrated tools
do everything out of the IDE, no need to leave the environment you're used to
...
Standalone tools
usable for every type of project, not only for those associated with an IDE
always behave the same (e.g. no difference like Eclipse-SVN-Client vs. AnkhSVN client for VS)
...
I would be interested in your opinions and use cases.
