Eric Sink, author of a competing non-distributed version control system?

yeah he's only interested in promoting Vault. Except he didn't mention Vault at all during that exchange on DVCS - he only mentioned Subversion as an alternative non-distributed version control system, and he said that DVCS systems were definitely going to be the norm in the future. So, uh, no. :)

I didn't say he was only interested in promoting Vault, or that he was being dishonest. Conflict of interest doesn't have to be some evil shadowy plot. Given that he's spent years working on his system and convincing himself it's The Right Way, DVCS probably is more difficult conceptually to him. That doesn't make him bad or a shill, it just means you shouldn't necessarily take his word as the authority for vcs newcomers.
