There is already migration from 2 -> 3 and no reason they won't continue. The migration hassles from 2 -> 3 were simply the change in the way the code gen took place.
For .NET BDS users (DDS?), I will be spending quite a bit of effort in educating the market with this tool, tutorials, seminars, example projects, etc. Lots of plans around this. Lots. Not neglecting win32 though, as has been mentioned many a time, win32 is faster and does almost everything .net does, it is a major selling point of the product suite.

I also liked the look of Bold but never really had a project for it. I may have a project (in the next year or two) that I maybe able to try ECO out on. I just need to find some time to learn it. My only worry with ECO is that the projects I'm involved in tend to be long lived, will I be able to open an ECO III project in ECO IX like you can with old delphi projects.
