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.
Elisabeth
