Call me a Unix guy, and you’ll likely get an answer. But even Unix guys get spoiled by GUI’s from time to time, especially when developing on a Mac. In the Mac “ecosystem” (in a very Earth friendly tone of voice) it seems that everyone wants to charge for their nice products. I don’t necessarily have a problem with that, other than hey I want to not pay any money for that stuff. So when my little tricks to keep using the evaluation of Textmate broke down, I hunkered down in my student desk ($10 Craigslist) and installed PyDev on Eclipse. I’ve actually been really happy with that decision.
Then when my evaluation of SyncroSVN came up, and they wanted $90 for a license… I did some more “Googling” (is English the only language where proper nouns can also be verbs?) And found the perfect solution that makes the Free Software Supporter in me smile:
If imitation is flattery, TortoiseSVN should blush a bit.
