If you use Delphi, C# Builder is a natural choice for C#.

You make a good point, and I'm guilty of the same assumption. I guess
most of the people I know that are leaving Delphi are also dropping the
rest of Borland's tools so aren't interested in looking at C# Builder.
I find it tougher to defend than Delphi, too. It has some of the new
IDE features I like (new tool pallet, Together integration, live data
at design time and BDP), but it doesn't have some of the silver bullet
features that Delphi has, like the VCL.Net and a compatible win32
compiler. I'm sure there are more. Since it's essentially the same
IDE, I wonder if C# Builder and Delphi 8 plug ins are compatible...
It would be great to see some information from Borland on why they
think C# Builder is the better choice. Consider this a hint, guys.
I'm dabbling with VS 2003, but unless I run into a real showstopper, my
C# development will be done using C# Builder.
