I must agree. Up until D2005 I've considered the Delphi Help to be a good example of developer friendly help, both for the Language and Libraries (VCL, etc) and also for the IDE. Now in D2005 using the MS"Help" (sic) document system the Library help is okay (but still a step down from the D7 help) and the IDE "help' isn't.
