Re: Borland/DevCO has lost its innovative power

I totally agree, I think the functionality provided by the IDE is awesome,
and I always hated the multiple floating windows in the old IDEs. I was
just saying that Lazarus does (IMO) function equivalent to a 1.0 version
software. There are many Open Source software packages ready for
production that aren't at version 1.0.

One can argue that BDS2006 wasn't a full version upgrade as well,

versioning scheme than most closed source solutions, since they aren't
managed and maintained in much the same way (outside of commercial
variants of open source software).


Hm, partily agree. If you have used D2005 BDS2006 is a big improvement,
starts up faster and crashes substancially less.

And they've integrated C++ where some update was missing for years. They
provided the needed stability update of is as promissed within 2 months
(that is before the end of 2005). BDS2006 was mostly useable from start
where D2005 utterly needed the service pack 1 at least...
