Why are people still recommending SVN? Do some people enjoy merge conflicts?
Because it's better than nothing at all. And way better than VSS, which what the target audience of this article is probably using.
Do you have any suggestion? I don't know anything better then SVN :(.
A lot of people nowadays are moving to Git (http://git-scm.com/). Although to be honest, I'm not sure if Git would be a good fit in a Windows development environment.
Thanks, I will give it a go asap. Never try it before.
Bazaar (bzr) is also worth a try. I used it before git.
What's a better open source version control system that integrates into Visual Studio?
As far as I know there are SVN-compatibility layers for a lot of version control systems to leverage existing SVN-integration.
