I'm looking for a good source control system that integrates with VS and Source Safe would not be one of the options I'd consider. I'd also like to be able to track developer time on a project. I've been looking at VS 2008 Team Foundation Server but after poking around on the web I've seen some lively discussion regarding its reliability and ease of maintenance. I've got it up and running but 'll have to admit that getting it, SharePoint, SQL Server, and ReportingServices set up and configured was a pain. I like the fact taht TFS provides a place to store and view project related documents and allows the definition of tasks, especially since you have to configure each individually. While it doesn't track time, I've found an add-in www.applicationaspect.com that looks pretty good. I'm wondering how others have fared with TFS or have sugestions for other products for source control, time tracking, and general development project management.

Dustin,

Does your use of TFS go beyond using the system for source control? Do you use it to track tasks against a project. For all the hype surrounding TFS it looks like it doesn't do a lot beyond source control and relies on MS project for detailed project management. SharePoint looks okay for sharing documents related to a project but I'm wondering if its more trouble to maintain than its worth.
