Re: Delphi Product Manager questioned

Nick,

IMO, this notion comes from the realization that Borland/DevCo's gamble on the .NET initiative has received the lion's share of resource devotion for the past several years. That sometimes makes old school Delphi faithful (native/Win32ers) feel abandoned. I'm sure many feel that if those resources were used to improve Delphi, as it existed from V1 through V7, it would be a much better product.

I don't necessesarily agree with the notion, but am just stating what I have observed. Personally, the only thing I don't like about the .NET integration is the lag time between .NET releases and associated Delphi releases--it kind of takes the wind out of the sail.

Ideas about how to crush, squash, etc.:
improve the VCL, I mean *really* improve it
rock-solid IDE
rock-solid help system

Regards,

Jason Lee
