  This is more a tribute to past developers (primarily Anders Hejlsberg)
than to future products.   Nothing is palatable past Delphi 7 unless you
don't mind the bloat and editor flakiness.   If you are going to Delphi
.NET, you would be better off using MS Visual Studio - fewer bugs and
current product.   Visual Studio 2005 has a number of productivity
improvements in the .NET 2.0 library / Visual studio.

   But for the first time since the Borland "Enterprise fiasco", things are
looking up as the CodeGear division organizes.   It's too early to tell
though.
