i don't mind any of these.

The VCL has always been bug-ridden. i can work around it, or patch it.
ADO has been supplanted by ADO.NET.
Component sets, web deployment features, sourcesafe integration, threading,
directX opengl; that's all a bonus.

The basic problem is laying out forms.

Everything else i can deal with.
