Fortunately I did try the D8 trial. Phew! I didnt upgrade from D7 till D2006. It was hard to evaluate because real work needs lots of components to be installed. I agree its nicer than D7 to work in - but the hassles didnt show up till much later. Thankfully there was a slew of hotfixes which fixed the worst but I really dont enjoy clicking my way through exceptions everytime I close it. It doesnt affect the working in it though. And dont get me start on Help. > Embarcadero are a business, they are not a charity.
