It really cool to know that you can make your contribution to the team without needed to be around or together with your colleagues. Even when I was home or on vacation I was able correct and give my inputs in the program we were working on!

There are less number of tutorials (video) for it which make it difficult for the newbies to use it fluently. The rest things were fine and is helpful except the lack of tutorials which sometimes lead to time wastage for resolving a very simple problem.

The community edition is really great. Today we have a community edition installation at the company I'm working for and it works like a charm.
