When I was there, everyone I knew used it and sang its praises.

But it is a large company with a lot of teams. I am sure there were people somewhere who thought it was awful.



When it worked, it was great. When it was down or slow (Friday at 4:15 PM, anyone?), it was miserable.


Hey wait, doesn't everybody at Google stay till 10:00 PM on Friday??!


They kinda kick everybody out on Friday evenings, actually. (Not actually kick out, but make it easier to just go home, especially as compared with Mon-Thurs.) And, in fact, that's even more true now than it was two weeks ago, because of a change in food-service policy.


Still need to beat the pre TGIF rush. Reviewing code after happy hour is a bad idea.


I use Rietveld (not in Google) and I'm not particularly impress. It makes the job, but I don't think is a GREAT tool. After all, there are not many ways you can do a code review...

I'd love something that will be more integrated with source control (git in particular), maybe I'm asking too much...


Try Gerrit. It's tightly coupled to git, it's quite easy to host, similar to Rietveld/Mondrian in style, and has good documentation.
