IMO it is more important what features/functions are not used and would help the user most. AFAIK there was a Delphi plugin that did that. For example: If you use the Search dialog often to search for procedures, then you probably don't know the Ctrl+Shift+Up/Down and procedure list. If you type keywords then you probably don't know word completion. If you often add manually local variables then you probably don't know code completion. And so forth ... Back to topic: The IDE can do some magic, but IMO the units should be kept readable enough for other viewers too. For example diffs will always show big changes in the binary parts of the lfm. Include files will be better for casual users and scale better for big projects.
