... Quality plummeted. Delphi 8 was a joke, and 2005 and 2006 were scarcely better. D2007 was tolerable, but that’s the best I can say about it. We’re still waiting on 64-bit, which Dephi The Great Innovator, had it existed at the time, would have had ready and working no later than 2004. And Borland managed to pretty much eradicate the community’s trust. Then they sold off the dev tools division to Embarcadero, and we thought, “finally! Delphi in the hands of a company that really ‘gets it’ again.” But so far that’s only been half true. ... Borland fumbled and gave Microsoft 4 free years to work on Visual Studio and the .NET languages, and C# has gone from an utter joke, (“let’s take people from the Delphi team and have them rewrite Delphi in Java syntax, and leave out half the stuff that makes Delphi worth working with because we can’t implement them without stepping in Borland’s patents, but that’s all right because it’s Backed By Microsoft™ so everyone will use it anyway,”) to an industry-leading language. Borland let that happen, Embarcadero inherited their mess, and we’re playing catch-up now. And until we have working compilers for Windows, OSX and Linux, in 32-bit and 64-bit flavors, a helpfile that’s actually complete and doesn’t suck, *Insight that actually works and doesn’t suck, and some form of LINQ and some form of concurrency support at the language level, (that actually work and don’t suck,) we’re going to be stuck playing catch-up. ...
Also da scheint jemand sehr enttäuscht von Borland/CodeGear/Emba zu sein
