CodePlex -- Not Impressed
The buzz around CodePlex is starting to make me nauseous.  I first read about it yesterday and was actually somewhat excited about it (and was even in the middle of hammering out a post saying “great idea”…then I started poking around the site and promptly deleted the draft).  I’m not the only who thinks this won’t work, and I’m sure I won’t be the last person to say that.  First off, I don’t have Visual Studio Team System (though I do remember reading somewhere that MS will be releasing a free TS plug-in for non VSTS VS installations soon (wow, enough acronyms there?)), so it’s unusable for me.  Second off, I just really don’t the CodePlex website.  Granted it’s simpler than say…SourceForge, but it’s too simple.  SourceForge is complex for a reason…having a distributed team building a project is complicated.  So I say, nothing to see here…move along.  Stick with established solutions like SourceForge (love it or hate it…it just works, well most of the time).

Hi jayson,
yes, I agree with you :-)
Also I said that my guess is that MS released CodePlex because they want to give the dev community a free testing of their VS TS so that later they start using it also at their company.
