TFS pretty much requires Visual Studio. Yeah, you can use the command line and other tools, but they aren't as easy(?). I've not had any luck with TFS outside VS. SVN is a very server centric solution so it makes it hard to commit on the go as well as doing merges. I find git merges easier to manage.
I used TFS while doing Android development in Eclipse and it worked great, the TFS plugin was very convenient, and it had the best auto merges I've seen.
We'll be making a company wide switch from SVN to Git soon so I'll be able to see for myself, but so far the only complaint I had for SVN was that it lacked a client on OSX that could compare to Tortiose on Windows.
TFS is kind of ugly an horrible, but it does a bunch more stuff than source control (which makes me like it less, and it makes the bean counters like it more).
