[Monotone-devel] GUIs, Frontends, and is anyone 'famous' using this?

There is some incompleteness in the forementioned link... like whether
monotone does cherrypicking etc...


Recently, it seems that mercurial has gotten Tortoise plugin support,
so now i have svn and possibly mercurial available from internet
explorer.  But, is there anyone out there working on Visual Studio
plugin?  I see that there's an eclipse plugin, with perhaps support.
(Does it work well??)

re: ViewMTN - is there a new maintainer, with a new host? is it all
modernized and compatible with latest python/apache/monotone?

The players at the table for our discussion - git (sorta), mercurial
(now with user-sloth-inducing-enhancements, I mean user-friendlyness
like tortoise), bazaar, each of these has a big player or two
associcated with their usage (linux kernel, MySQL is using bazaar (or
was), I forgot the magjor players using mercurial now 3 or 4 of em I
think), and I'm trying to keep monotone on the table, because it has
technical features superior to all of the others (except perhaps git,
which fails due to complexit, but anyhow)

Primarily with mercurial and bazaar, each workspace is a repository...
so I have no cross-workspace sharing (other than mounting them both
within each other perhaps, and manually commiting between them).  They
also would never support something like merge_into_dir.  But - this
makes usage simpler (?)... I mean you never have to specify --db= ...
which after you've got your workspace setup, you never need to worry
about.  Also, their access control seems to rely on operating system
features (ssh permission, http access), rather than specify which
users can use(commit to) which branches....

Is there any other slick GUIs anyone's been working on?
