I suspect it is more a case of not being able to agree on one.

I have found, in the past, that aegis is a great tool for managing the kind of
work we do.   Amongst other things, code review and tests are built into the
design - and not tagged on as an afterthought.  And it is designed to ensure
an "always works" policy.  A real "continuous integration" tool, which is a
term which is banded about so much these days, but rarely actually done.


Unfortunately, aegis is difficult to introduce to a project - not for technical 
reasons - but social ones.  My attempts have often resulted in people 
complaining
that the thing is "defective" because it won't allow them to do what they want 
(ie commit 
without review/build/test).
