> Developers not upgrading... > Well I bought D2 Enterprise. When upgrade time around I found not only was upgrade around 80% of purchase price, but so many of the "enterprise" bits were completely different. Ie Borland just provided a different set of 3rd party components so application upgrade was pain. Since then I decided to just buy my own 3rd party tools thanks which provide long lived support and only bought Professional version. I have huge no. of software suites on computer for petroleum and GIS work. I expect to pay 10-20% for software upgrades. > In Delphi 5 I Don't miss (ie what Delphi 5 got right) > -The help is blindlingly fast and convenient > -Components hardly ever jump on the form when clicked > -The IDE starts in about 5-10 seconds instead of 1-2 minutes > Yeah. I have BDS2006 and I miss from D7/D5 is:
- starting an application in debug didnt produce application errors in Delphi every 2-3 times. (This puzzle is getting worse I think - reset and start debug again fixes it 99% of time) - didnt wait 30sec while screen crawls with desktop changes. - Dont have to work through 4-5 "catastrophic error", "Application error" boxes when I exit On other hand, debugging aids, organisation of components, code insight and many other nice IDE features keep me in 2006 rather than D7. And I keep hoping for Unicode. -- Phil Scadden, Senior Scientist GNS Science Ltd 764 Cumberland St, Private Bag 1930, Dunedin, New Zealand Ph +64 3 4799663, fax +64 3 477 5232 Notice: This email and any attachments are confidential.
