By all means, give it a fair test. You might like it - I did, at one point.
I was working my way through the bugs (there will be fixes, after all) and
the IDE annoyances. Took me nearly a week to iron out all the preferences I
needed to set.

But when my main App started to exhibit some seriously bad behaviour, I
dumped it - I just don't need the hassle of having to figure out why Delphi
has screwed up compared to previous versions that didn't. One of the
problems was that when writing to a byte value (var declared as BYTE),
Delphi was compiling a MOV [address], eax - thus writing four bytes, zeroing
the following three bytes in the record.

I've not been able to reproduce it since in a test app, so it's more likely
a problem elsewhere.
