Can confirm. I'm stuck using TFVC on project and it has to be by far the worst.
I can see how in some peoples' use cases it may be decent, but I don't understand why it would be anybodies first choice...or second...

Also can confirm. Even with just 2 developers the conflict resolution is extremely poor and most of the time it just "resolves" it automatically, the wrong way, without telling you it even happened. VS integration has far less features than any third-party svn or git integration I've used. Getting it to ignore NuGet binaries is a pain. My current project is the first I've used TFVC on, it's only a few months old and there isn't really anything of value in the history. If the other guy agrees, I'm gonna move to git on the next slow day.
TFS supports git repositories. TFVC is among the worst VCS I've used and really cannot be distinguished from CVS or SourceSafe in terms of usability or performance in my day to day experience (we have 3 TFS deployments, 2 TFVC only, one mixed TFVC and git repositories).
So, I'm cheering for .Net Core and I'm genuinely impressed by the MS SQL offering for Linux. This, on the other hand..
