I am, here, talking about hotfix #5, nothing else. Borland knew from
day 1 that displaying forms within the IDE can takes some time (how
could they not?!), so they must have known (or at least guessed) that
quite a few people would have complained about it and should,
therefore, have dealt with that issue straight away.
..and if they couldn't deal with it "straight away"?

I really wonder what would be a good reason for not being able to deal with
it straight away? You seem to be forgetting that *we*, users, are the one
indirectly responsible for keeping Borland in business by paying for their
products. So, if we are not happy with them, we may end up going elsewhere.
I have seriously considered doing that in the last few years, but like lots
of 'old' Borlandders, I decided to keep giving Borland another chance and
another, etc. It would seem that it's finally paying off, but again like
many users, I had in the last few years to cope with what I would consider
being non-finished products.
