Why use Git when you can pay for Perforce!

Perforce integrates very nicely with a whole bunch of third party tools in a way git does not, and is on the whole a lot easier to use for most people than git (and I'm saying this as someone who doesn't like Perforce at all)

Really? My experience is the opposite - all the tools integrate with git, not perforce.

Said as someone who likes perforce. Having hundreds of developers working with large binary files was incompatible with git until very recently.

I would have to echo this, no problem with perforce, but sayings its ecosystem of plugins is more viable than git?

Maybe 5+ years ago?
