Re: I really hate .NET especially inside Delphi

I'm not understanding -- what are you talking about?

Well, units are absolutely poor compared to namespaces.

That's totally subjective -- what's wrong with them?


Also the coupling between filename and unit name (thus namespace) is
not exactly what I would call superior or even equal to how other
.Net languages handle it.

Why not? No one complained about it for the 20 years Pascal used the
exact same system, and it works like it always has with the added
benefit of being able to put any unit in a namespace.

In addition -- these are pretty small complaints, really. "Delphi for
..NET sucks" seems a bit of hyperbole relative to them, don't you think?
