After using both D3 and D4 heavily, D3 is very poor by comparison - I hate
(read avoid) using D3 and if I can will have the same file open in both
D3/D4, doing the editing in D4 and compiling in D3.
D4.03 in "my opinion" is much more productive (read save heaps of time) and
easy to use - you don't know what you're missing. 3 big things added in the
D4 IDE, which make it worthwhile - hope we have the same gains in moving to
D5.
1. Class completion
2. Jumping from Declaration to Implementation
3. The debugger
