Re: Best Win32 Delphi IDE

(1) I heard that BDS IDE uses .NET for the IDE is that true ?

Yes. Some functionality requires the dotNET framework and the Online Help
requires the dotNET SDK.

(2) If (1) is true, then, is it true that is currently "buggy" ?

That doesn't relate to (1), does it? But, yes, there are a few bugs. BDS
2006 is much better than BDS 2005 and - for whatever reason - my Turbo
Delphi for win32 seems to be more stable than my BDS 2006 installation.
Maybe because of some component packages I have installed in BDS and can't
install in Turbo? Or maybe because I use different layouts BDS: undocked,
Turbo: docked?

(3) If (2) is true, which is the lastest Win32 IDE version, D6, D7, D2005,
D2006, BDS ?

The latest IDE that didn't require dotNET was Delphi 7. But I'd really not
want to go back to that. Yes, it was fine for the time but now I would miss
quite a lot of functionality. Only the Online Help was much better, that's
why I wrote http://cc.borland.com/Item.aspx?id=23948
