I beg to differ. Perforce is annoying with forcing to check out files before you can edit them, as I tend to
forget to do that. Furthermore I have to lose the current history view, which forces me to remember the
current changeset during the edits and not just between edit sessions.

Another problem is the abyssmal handling of moved files. They lose their history and one cannot diff
between a changeset before the move with one afterwards. So you have to change the revision number
manually. Even subversion does here better. Please tell me, where Perforce has its superiosity compared
to other SCMs.
