[DUG] Delphi 2006 and 2007 - Accredo etc

[John Bird]

I jumped from D5 to BDS2006 and D2007, I kept my D5 source separate in case
I had to go back because of problems with any program.  I can honestly say I
never compiled another program with D5 after I switched.  Same with D2006 to
D2007.

IDE is much richer in D2007 - stable enough (overall better than d5 or
d2006).  Code insight/refactoring/XP-Vista themes/Debugging/component
alignment guides that appear as you move them around.   I would not live
without them.

D2007 help is much improved over 2006, although the MS Document explorer can
be painfully slow when after quick answers.  But I also have D5 help in the
tools menu and Google, and Delphibasics, for fast lookups.

I have noticed odd problems with tab indenting getting lost/edit text or
label captions not being highlighted when I click on them in the OE (typing
does nothing)/components shifting on the form sometimes when clicked
on/having to look up detailed notes everytime I want to add a component into
the IDE (hehe that's nowhere in the help, but I have Steve Trefethens notes
and mine).  Overall all minor problems.  But fix them all the same eh guys?
