The list of Methods is just a little better, but not by much.

OK, they are working on it, which seems more than Borland was doing.
We wait in the wings to hear more.

Amongst the people who are on this list, there are some very
experienced programmers. However experienced you are, there are always
times when you want to check out how a particular method is called, or
what a particular property actually does etc.  Agreed, you could
always write a little test program that changes a property, but it may
not be visible or have an immediately recognisable name. Pressing F1
should tell you immediately.

We still have the web, and D7 help files so we can give them time to
update the help.
