Because of the rise in blog-spam, I've turned on comment moderation. If it takes a while before your comment appears, I hope you understand.
Moderation Policy: I approve substantive comments. I reject ads. And if I don't know whether it's substantive or advertising, it sits in my moderation queue until I get sick of looking at it, at which point I reject it, kind of like the questionable meatloaf in the fridge. But please be assured that I think long and hard before clicking that reject link. I really am grateful for every comment any human takes the time to make. (Spambots, not so much. But if you're reading this, you're probably human.) So please contribute to the conversation...

Hi fgh,
Funny how someone’s thinking can change in 9 years, eh?
For everyone else - what I think fgh is pointing out is that the advice I give in the linked blog post almost certainly contradicts - at least to some extent - what I had to say in 1999 about choosing tools. So if you’re reading my evaluating tools article, please remember that it was written 9 years ago, long before I began working with Agile teams, and long before the current crop of open source tools were available.
