Is it just me, or does anyone think that Nick Hodges as product manager is a big mistake?


There are others who have fears that Devco would stop development on a native Delphi compiler. Nick has given his assurance that this is going to be his top priority and I trust him. I am sure Eric and Denis are great guys, but Nick has at least been a TeamB member for many many years and for that reason alone is the better choice IMO.

See Nick's assurance below.. (Sorry the link is not yet available on Google) Find the 'New Delphi Product Manager' Topic from a few days ago in this newsgroup read Nick's reply to SiegfriedN (2006-06-15 15h51)

I can assure you that if I have anything to say about it (and, well, I
do!), native development will be a top priority. I'll have to figure
out why people think anything else. ;-)
