UCM criticisms?

UCM seems to put all project activity on one branch, for instance. This seems accident prone, in a general way. Any comments??

I haven't used UCM myself, but you'll find some comments (apparently
about 2 years old) at http://www.miaow.com/clearcase/faq/ucm.html

Thanks for the link! I had it in my bookmarks, but had forgotten to go look for
resources. Turns out I have a few websites bookmarked on this matter!
