So you found a bug quicker than you did in visual studio? The worst bug I have ever experienced was in VS2005 and not BDS, it cost me nearly a whole day of wasted development time.

How quickly you find your first bug is not really relevant, it's how often you find them and how much time they cost you that counts.

Ohh - That's can i tell to you. I've counted today 25 exception while tried
to enter code :-) Yesterday i've counted over ~ 4.5 hours work 83 exceptions.
All most in editor context and some open/close files and using components.

Sorry - thats not really the question. I pay 2500 Euro Upgrade and become
about 1.2 GB 'scrap iron'. No - colleague that's not the discussion. I've
use Borland products since Turbo Pascal 3.0 in the late 80ths. The IDE is
grown, the price is grown and the quallity is extem more badly! Basicly the
IDE have not really salient new functions in compare with Delphi 5, 6, 7. The
only one key change ist from native win32 environment to .NET runtime. I know
a saying: Don't touch running systems - or for the IDE - Don't touch running
and stable code! You want to discuss over lost time in the development. Now
i start VS in ~5-8 seconds and only once. BDS in 25 seconds with the package
library i need for the development and and repeatedly on the day. For now the
IDE simply hangs without any exception popup - but not totally window min/max
works but not more. The three changed files are lost if i kick with the task
manager. It was 15 minutes work.

So you want to discuss still over lost time ?
