[DUG] Stopped Using D2005

[Traci Sumpter]

I am in total agreement with you - I am having difficulty with cuttin and
pasting controls on a form.  Now that is ANNOYING!!!

I think Borland are turning into a microsoft company.  Lets say it can do
this and then fix it later.

Bad show for 2005.

well, after months of trying and frustrating patience, I have left delphi
2005 and gone back to developing with Delphi 7.

1. I can almost never debug a threaded application. The entire computer goes
into a locked up state where no mouse or keystrokes are processed by the
computer (I have heard * read of others with the same problem)

2. The compiler doesn't always compile properly. yesterday, I removed a unit
from a uses clause, and build all still worked, even though i had plenty of
references to the unit. It kept working until I restarted delphi. Finally
got the error messages.

3. The memory leaks are beyond useful. Crashes all the time. Even tried the
FastMM patch of the Borlandmm.dll to fix the memory leaks and stuff. 
unfortunately all the workarounds came to the fore and it was no better.

4..1000 (More of the above) I wonder what the chances of a refund are? 
Out of the box, for doing what Delphi 7 did reasonably ok, this has failed
and failed. Perhaps when using the C# or the .Net it works better, i don't
know.

ANYONE who does not know about QC14007 in quality central should read it.
That one bug alone is the reason why we should all get an Update 4, or a
refund. not D2006 (unless it is update 4).
