haven't seen an official announcement of this, only various people assuming in various places on the internet.

if you have any official statement to support that i'd be happy to see that.

Nope, it and TFVC (an alternative versioning system to Git) are unfortunately still alive. But at least Azure DevOps supports Git, which makes it slightly less horrible.

And it doesn't look like it's going anywhere, with Azure DevOps Server 2022 RC1 being released in August (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/server/releas...).

Did I mention how much Microsoft sucks at naming things?

TFVC is more like Subversion but has a lot more features. It has next to nothing in common with git except that you can use it to version control files. Although I would agree that git's workflow is better for almost all use cases.

Azure DevOps has a lot more features than GitHub for micromanagement which means that middle management loves it. You can design elaborate workflows on boards and link almost everything together. It also supports reporting, connects directly to the Azure AD, and supports complex permission management with ACL for nearly every feature you can imagine.

It also supports free stakeholder accounts.

One of my clients use Azure DevOps and I hear nothibng but praise. MS Teams tho, not so much.

Also I think AzureDevops just got a revamped "Sprint page 2.0" from what I heard so they are releasing new features.

Azure Devops is fine.
