[DUG] Good component packs

[Steve Peacocke]

Hello Nick,

I know others out there will disagree with me but I have used
Woll2Woll's InfoPower pack (http://www.woll2woll.com/InfoPower.html)
as the ONLY component set in some very large projects operating for
some years with excellent success.

I tend to have only 1 component pack available otherwise (like the
Jedi one) your application becomes over-bloated with "nifty 3rd party
components" you don't really need. I had the full TMS component pack
but only really needed and used the Unicode part of the pack.

Woll2Woll's site shows some over-colourfull graphics but the
mind-bending and scary colours and graphics are not really needed -
what's needed is functionality for the user and InfoPower did it.

I'm very, very interested in the ExpressQuantumGrid from DevExpress
but am holding out as Delphi's grid, or InfoPower is all that I
really, truly need. But it just looks so damn exciting .. but then
money staying put in my wallet is also a nice thought. But...

If I was restricted to just a single component pack, because of the
types of programs I write (database driven), I would choose InfoPower
because of its proven (to me) reliability in my applications ..but
I'll check out ExpressQuantumGrid Suite again before I went ahead with
that decision.

Steve
