For the record I had no input in this decision. When I say we I was saying we as a company.
If they had asked me I would not hesitate to at least vote for git. I've used Subversion enough and I have always found the process of merging a branch as absolutely painful. I've never used VCS so I'm not qualified to evaluate it. As for a project management tool I don't know enough to make a compelling case against TFS. I can say that (a) I hated using it and (b) I was not along. It's been so long since I last used but I am thankful I don't anymore.
As someone who has used Microsoft TFS and its suite of tools versus using github or gitlab as well as jira for issue management I can tell you that git/github like tool/jira is preferable to subversion/TFS. I am willing to wager a large sum of money that most of the team members at the vista owned company would have agreed. And I am nearly certain TFS and Subversion was more expensive than the other tools.
You know why I think Vista's decision is bad? MBAs and finance people should not be dictating what tools should be used technical/coding/project managers. That is dumb. I'm glad you like whatever tools you use, what's with the snide attitude?
