  Borland's intentions are to go the Watcom-way, everything out
of one box.

  Yes, its a good deal, but my only complaint is that I really
like the fact that Borland has a classlib that is fairly
consistent between Windows and OS/2.  Granted there is some
criticism about certain aspects not being supported between the
two.

  Having to encapsulate GUI development on different platforms,
or take the time to learn a new classlib for each different
platform is not an entertaining prospect.  The idea behind C++ was
that there were reusable components that was supposed to make
software development more efficient and this seems to have been
captured by the Borland language people, IMHO.
