The main point of my post was that the effect of QC has become negative
rather than positive for many users.

While I don't doubt that there are at least some number of users that feel similar to you, I *do* doubt it is anything near a majority or even a *significant* minority.

While my sample size was miniscule, of those Delphi developers I have asked an overwhelming majority do agree with Patrick.

Already burned by past experiences of with QC, the large number of reports not showing any resolution (not even a "fixed in the new shiny version but not in the version you bought!" message) doesn't inspire any enthusiasm to retry QC rather than Google Groups.


BTW - I tried to put myself in the position of a newcomer who is trying find the solution to a problem which looked like a bug (and I doubt "Quality Central" be the first thing a newcomer would think to look for?)

Looked on codegear.com...

Support / KnowledgeBase / Delphi / 8'th link "How to Access Delphi Documentation 15 Apr"

"Delphi Documentation can be found here:" Error 404

Not very professional!
