I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the fact that RB 5.5.5 also builds significantly smaller applications, at least in Mac OSX.

Some reason people have given include : - the RB 5.5 IDE launches and executes quicker than RB 2005/2006 on the same hardware - compiles in 5.5 are faster - the IDE itself. It has floating palettes for controls which people with multiple monitors prefer - the debugger lets you modify values as you debug (2005/2006 doesn't) - stability. The 5.5 IDE rarely quits or crashes and the 2005/2006 IDE did so more frequently (although I find them reasonably stable) - don't need the new features of 2005/2006 and associated new bugs & issues - support for older Mac OS systems (which is why some people are still using version 4 and 5)
