It was almost enough to put one off version control! However since then I've battle-tested a number of other packages from both the traditional model and the newer distributed model. My own experience goes way back to Microsoft Visual SourceSafe at my first programming job. I'll cover the particular software packages that I have used. I'll lay bare the unresolved problems with version control for the games industry. I'll also expose the problems it can cause. I'll help you understand the problems it solves and I'll show you how to use version control more effectively. In this article I'll argue the benefits of version control.

As a professional developer in most cases when you join a software company you won't even have a choice, you must use their choice of version control system in order to contribute to the team.
It's something you have to use, right? When you work with code, especially on a team, it's a necessity. I love this graphic that sums it up perfectly: Version control: Effective use, issues and thoughts, from a gamedev perspective
