<lurker> I use and love Delphi 7, and have a small set of reliable components I use over and over again. Comments on this list have utterly put me off upgrading ... <grin> I have tried Vis Studio options, but have been put off by the slow IDE ...

( see some below ) > > Delphi stability is major nuisance - massive crashes on exit; Every second or third time you press Run, I get AV. If reset and press Run again, then this go normally. Advice is that a 3rd party component is responsible but only solution to find it, it steady uninstall until problem goes away. > Are people writing in other languages for new projects, and using delphi in just maintenance? > > I hate C style languages but VS C# is very productive, stable platform. Feels like Delphi, has the features like unicode and object inspectors that falls on deaf ears at Borland etc. My vast component base keeps small fast projects in Delphi, but for major or long term work, its becoming too risky. > Are people ( like me ) writing apps in the Web platform now as opposed to the Windows PC platform? > > Web apps are fact of life despite being horribly painful to write and use. However, none of this happening on windows platform so delphi not even an issue. -- 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.
