It seems to me that RB2k6 is a more "solid" base to build from than the 5.x series. It is made with RB itself, has a newer compiler. Plus... it's what we have now. So that's what is built upon.

Indeed the RB-made bloat-IDE is the cause of so many bug reports about the IDE itself. Never seen so many bugs with the old IDE. Regarding the new compiler, I'd be curious to know where are the news. Really, how is different from the previous?


This makes me think if they read the bug reports or not... How is supposed I can provide a sample project that programatically crash the IDE?

Were you working with a completely blank project?

Yes!
But this happen so frequently in blank and even in complex projects.


Sure, there are new features I want. And, you bet... I've got a handful of bugs that really annoy the snot out of me. But I have the same troubles with the other tools that I use from time to time (VisualStudio 2k5 and MonoDevelop). RBs' benefits outweigh its problems for my work. And that's the key with any toolset.

I can tolerate a little more IDE related bugs but I'm more strict on the framework. At least not so many and not so critics. It's not possible to have a framework which fails to detect exceptions (just to say one).


Why do I get the feeling like you're upset? :)

Seriously man, I understand your frustration. I just don't have the same problem here.

Happy for you, really. I hope you'll never be in the situation of being unable to deliver a project to a customer.

Anyway, I'm more sad than frustrated. I'm a big fan of RB since it was XBasic 0.9 and I agree on the fact it's potentially a great tool, but it could be far better just fixing the bugs. Again, we are discussing of bugs instead of features in this list. A solution could be to have a RB-Bug mailing-list.. ;)
