That's why I'm suspicious that 'fixing the tools' alone will change much.
Frankly this is missing the point that both Doug and I raise. The most important point is reliability. Our given tool chain is not even close to providing the reliability that is needed to support any kind of process. This is not about bells and whistles it's about *making it work*.
I agree, and I never meant to say the opposite. But fixing tools where they are unreliable, and reinventing / rewriting everything from scratch every now and then are not quite the same.
Another important point is to make it easy for people to do the right thing. If the right way to do things is at the same time the easiest way.
I believe in incremental enhancements, not in Getting It Right This Time. Thanks, Stefan -- ...ich hab' noch einen Koffer in Berlin...
