Cornerstone vs Versions for Mac OS X [closed]

Answer 1

Cornerstone won. We did a smack down and cornerstone 1.5 was far better both for our experienced team members and our production engineers ( more casual SVNers )

Answer 2

Try SmartSvn, it has much more features and way more powerful then any of those. I also use svnx, however the UI is awful.

Answer 3

I'm using versions because it suits my needs and I never even heard of cornerstone before i bought it.

If you cannot make up your mind that probably means that both work well enough for you, so go with the cheapes option, or the one with the best support. (i have no idea how the support on either is, never needed any)

Answer 4

I tried both cornerstone 2 and versions.

In the end I went with cornerstone 2 as it provided a more intuitive workflow. You can easily add a file, apple + enter to see the diff and then apple + t to commit. I found it easier to see the diff information in cornerstone and it felt more like an apple application if that makes sense.

Answer 5

I like Versions GUI more. Cornerstone has more features, but I don't NEED them, so they tend to get in the way.

Plus Kaleidoscope is an AWESOME text comparison tool and they work beautifully together.

I was hoping that XCode 4 would make both obsolete... maybe one day (sigh).

Answer 6

Another consideration is SVN 1.7 support. Cornerstone has had this feature since mid February, 2012. No official date for when this will be supported in Versions.

--sigh-- I own Versions, but will be purchasing Cornerstone this week because I just can't wait any longer.
