How Microsoft Office Moved from Source Depot to Git

Perforce is convoluted and confusing, but I don't think it's really fair to call it stupid. It is still virtually unmatched in a couple of areas.

I wasn't being fair, I was being mean. Perforce is stupid and ugly.

I would say it's no more convoluted and confusing than git. I used Perforce professionally for quite a few years in gamedev, and found that a bit confusing at first. Then I was self-employed and used git, and coming to git from Perforce I found it very confusing at first. But then I grew to love it. Now I'm back to working for a big gamedev company and we use Perforce and I feel very proficient in both.
