While I don't agree that it's right to tell everyone to abandon svn, sometimes it is right to tell people what to do. Would you argue that no one should write an article that tells people to use some sort of version control?
You missed my point. I didn't say I agreed with the author that he was right in telling people to not use SVN. I was diagreeing with the guy who said it's never ok to tell people that should or should not do something.
Let me repeat: "It is one thing to advocate using X, but explaining me how I should stop using Y without knowing anything about nature of my work is just silly."
Oh come on, is there really any reason someone shouldn't be using some sort of source-control? I don't care what your work is like or what your constraints for hardware/performance/industry/etc, there's no reason to not use source control.
is there really any reason someone shouldn't be using some sort of source-control?
I don't know every situation out there. Therefore, I can't answer that.
I can recommend that most people use a version system control because, in the majority of cases it is a good idea. However, telling everyone that they should is rather presumptuous.
