I have been extensively working with Borland IDEs since 2000, started with Delphi 3, continued with C++Builder and also tried C#Builder. I was programming also in C# (VS.NET 2003) for 2 years, but have switched back to C++Builder 6 recently.<br><br><br>Currently, most of my working time I am developing database-oriented VCL Windows applications in BCB6.<br><br><br>I would be pleased to test BDS 2005 (DeXter) (about 15 hours a week) to help Borland finetune it, and hope that it becomes the best IDE for both C++ and .NET development in the future.<br><br><br>Best regards,<br><br>Tibor Békési<br><br>Tibor Békésihttp://tibor.bekesi@gmail.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2428374771421713311.post-9404949858336311042005-09-25T00:42:16.000-07:002005-09-25T00:42:16.000-07:00Hi, I've been using Delphi since the first re...Hi,<br><br><br> I've been using Delphi since the first release 1.0 of Delphi (before I used turbo pascal). Now I'm strongly using Borland C++ builder 6.0 (since 2000) and I'm looking forward for the new exciting version of Delphi (Dexter?).

Started with Delphi 3 / BCB 1.<br><br><br>Found 2 compiler bugs and filed in QC -- both are surprisingly very easy to stumble upon and hard to debug. Bug's been there since BCB 5 (earliest we could test, without having to dig out earlier versions).<br><br><br>One bug has been promoted to internal database (highly critical bug which affects nearly all applications compiled with BCB).<br><br><br>We work on huge projects -- inheriting from TDataSet in BCB, mixing PASCAL with C++ codes, pure C++ code with our own library, packages (TComponent descendants) in BCB (~30k lines of C++ code and ASM).<br><br><br>If Dexter passes my QC, then it's ready for the market. I seriously doubt it though. Some bugs need a complete revamp of Borland's C++ Compiler. The only thing you guys can do is a workaround, which may end up breaking another thing. That's your expertise isn't it, Borland?Zach Sawnoreply@blogger.com
