We’ve been using Basecamp in a team of 2 for a past project and it was too much hassle for the two of us. Maybe it makes sense if the team is larger, but since we are located in the same building it turns out it is often better just to get up and walk in the other office.

I’ve been using Basecamp since 2 years now with various client and internally in business too. No complaint at all, it really help me keeping all the stuff together.

You’re right, Kevin. I’m also pretty sick of the “check out huddle” thing. By the way, I’ve been to http://www.whybasecampsux.org/ and found some good alternatives. My major problem with Basecamp was that I couldn’t get my clients use it. They wouldn’t logg on to the site. Now i’m using this http://www.wrike.com/. The greatest thing about it is that you can make changes to your tasks by sending regular emails, so my clients don’t have to logg on to the system itself.

I strongly disagree with this statement: “Fortunately, 37signals has shown itself to be responsive to its passionate and articulate client base”. Here is a great site that chronicles how this is not true: http://www.whybasecampsux.org/

What frustrates me is how often I see blogs talking about basecamp. Then, as if I didn’t want to vomit already, the obligatory “check out huddle” comment is always first on the list. I have used huddle and find it to be even less functional than basecamp.

You should check out Huddle (www.huddle.net) as well if you like using Basecamp. Much easier system to track multiple projects and clients and a better user interface too.
