Hi Lee,

first of all, thanks for your detailed reply.

But let me keepthis short:

Nice to hear, and I do believe you.

But i do not like the mouse and I don't even have one (on any of my 4
PCs base local net)
The IDE is simply not operable without a mouse. The compiler is surely
able to do the actual work for creating executables used within a
productive environment.



Ah!  I had misunderstood.  Have you looked at the freepascal IDE?  That's 
keyboard driven isn't it?  What did you think of it?

  That is the value for me and my customers.  As nice as
  Delphi2007 IDE *really* is, it doesn't compile cross-platform or even to

 No.You are right. And since borland changed to inprise, and back to
 borland,and forth to codegear, dropping off Kylix underway ... I am not
 really convinced by the company-politics anymore (and I really have been
 a BorMAN)

Same here... We supported Borland since Delphi 4 thru Delphi 7.  It
was a great company and product in it's day. But now with Borland
trying to compete with Microsoft in their own game (refering to .NET
development) they are heading downhill.  Microsoft controls .NET and
will always create the best tools which also support the latest
version of .NET.

Also not to mention when Borland tried to sell off the development
tools section and nobody wanted to buy it - it says something about
the state of the company and product.  CodeGear is not having much
better luck either! I honestly don't think Delphi is going to be
around for much longer.  Borland should have targetted other platforms
(like Linux) where Microsoft had no footing - they should have given
Kylix a chance   But now I'm getting a bit off topic. :) What's
done is done!
