This, I didn't say. In fact, I even went so far to say I doubt you'll
see a native code IDE from us for Delphi on any other platform than
Windows for the immediate future, but that deployment, development, and
debugging of applications on other platforms from the BDS IDE is
certainly feasible.
I *did* say one of DevCo's mottos is "Delphi Everywhere" and that it
would be nice to see it on MacOS, Solaris, and any other major
development target. Since it was part of my answer to the "Kylix
question" I can see how you might have linked the two together, but the
Kylix IDE and support for native Linux (and other platform) support is
an entirely different question than the Kylix IDE.
I would be delighted to see DevCo positioning itself as leader of *native*
crosplatform compiler/framework vendor (both Delphi and C++ 32/64 bit)
and if possible maintaining reasonable set of tools to program on managed
code
platforms.
For managed code DevCo will have to play catch up game with the vendors
(Microsoft or Sun) all the time. Those vandors have (and will allways have)
an obvious bussiness and timewise advantage over others and can steer
releases of their products the way to make it really hard for the other
players
to catch up quickly.
On the other hand native compiler/framework environment does not have
such a strict constraints and DevCo performance in this area will
be limited only by creativity of the R&D team which I belive is above
exceptional.
It is abvious that using VisualStudio one can do practically everything he
or
she wants as long as we are talking about Windows as the desination
platform. We can spend ours arguing about VS versus BDS advantages
or disadvantages but one thing seems to be certain, Visual Studio is not
going to be crosplatform tool anytime soon. So, even if BDS, or maybe
better xDS, will not be an exact match for Visual Studio on the Windows
platform (I am talking about managed code here) xDS as a corsplatform
development environment may be a winner of the developer's hearts.
Just my 2 cents...
Best Regards,
Zenon
