I know other version control software exists, but does anyone use it? Why? What are the differences? All I’ve ever actually seen people use is git.

    Not to mention, most developers don’t even really care about which SCM they use.

    Get them to use CVS for a while. They will care then.

          I used ClearCase too :) And it was painful. But I don’t think CVS and/or ClearCase are considered to be meaningful alternatives to Git at this day and age. I was mostly thinking about Mercurial and Fossil. They are brought up as alternatives to Git more often. That’s my observation at least.

      I never used CVS but the senior developer at one place mentioned about it once when I complained about subversion which we used there (this was in 2013).
