As a facebook employee, and a former google employee, I prefer google's SCM system and tooling instead..

Cider, Piper, CitC, Blaze, etc make a really complete system. Nothing beats it.

This is kind of also surprising because product speed at Fb is much better :)

Without a doubt, CitC/Piper/Blaze/Critique/Code Search is what I miss the most from Google. As you've said it really feels like a complete system. I'd pay decent money for a hosted version of it.

Did you get a chance to try cider by any chance? I miss it pretty often

I thought Cider was all right. It’s useful and good enough, but I still preferred VS Code even though it’s not as integrated.

I would pay for that, too, but only if it was provided by another company (not Google).

Isn't buck a replacement for blaze?

It is, more or less equivalent, but buck integration with piper/citc/cider makes it currently more comprehensive than fb infra. Fb is getting there but much slower. So i was more or less talking overall...
