I had my emacs setup to edit LotusScript (one of the scripting options for Lotus Notes), which is close enough to VB that it could handle the occasional file - this was a new codebase, though, so it made sense to just start with C#.

That was also the project where I tested if git reached the point where you can have "normal" people work with it as well (which worked pretty well). I never accepted any project where they'd have me work with idiotic proprietary source control, unless the project was "migrate away from that".



I was happy when I changed job, using SVN (Subversion) instead on Visual Sourcesafe. Then I dabbled a bit with TFS (Team Foundation Server)

Since around 2014 -- It has been Git all the way.

Well, until recently. Codebase at my current job is all contained in a single Subversion repo. It is difficult to maintain and branching takes GBs!

One of my first goals is to move over to Git, and into smaller Git repos. Of course, I have Magit to get it done. :-)
