Re: Evaluating D2005, help needed.

I thought that although negative his original posting was presented well and
didn't smell of the usual "moaning child" post.


What follows are general responses to your statements rather than a comment
on D2005, which I personally use most days and have no problems with at all
(512MB ram).



> How does the problem in the compiler affect users in production?

To say that a development environment does not affect end users is wrong.
If for example you are not as productive then the customer suffers from
having to wait longer for a release. They may also suffer because planned
features were dropped due to time constraints.

Which is fine if you can upgrade, but he said he can't.

I used VS2003 quite a lot before D2005 came out. My personal experience was
that it was very stable, in fact I have only ever managed to kill the IDE
two or three times. In comparison, I have never been able to kill D2005
since update 3.
