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.

About Jayson Knight

Jayson Knight was clueless to the computer programming world until he took a C++ class in college. The rest is proverbial history. He has been building applications targeting the .Net framework for 7 years, focusing mainly on internet technologies and database driven web application development.

Most recently he left the world of Corporate IT to finish up his degree in Chemistry, with an eye on Medical School and an Anesthesiology residency program. Read this post for more information.

He is also a Community Server MVP: Community Server is the software that runs this site, plus many others on the web. For more information, check out http://csmvps.com.

When he finds time to pry himself away from his computer and university studies, he can be found on the mountain bike trails when it's warm, and on the ski slopes when it's cold.
