[DUG] Has Malcolm Groves Been Misrepresented?

[John Bird]

>From Nick Hodges blog

"How code should be formatted is probably a "Top Five Thing for Developers to Argue About" - right up there with multiple inheritance and whether GOTO is evil or not."

I was chuckling to myself at the Auckland presentation that the F6 IDE insight is really a visual GOTO

Personally I would rate it as a killer feature.  (IDE insight, not goto)

  IDE Insight is cool (and perhaps just doesn't go quite far enough. vis being able to search the options dialog(s) whilst *in* those dialogs.

   

  I hope to be blogging about some of the other things that I think are cool and noteworthy additions over the weekend.

  I think, for the true story, you need to hit F6.

   

  (Hopefully my comment will be taken for the joke I think it is, albeit a lame joke, it made me laugh :-)

  I was not at the Auckland presentation, and have had to rely on others' reporting of it. Jolyon who normally appears to be very careful in what he says and writes has said on his blog:

   

  "Malcolm Groves stood up in Auckland and openly told us that in his view, apart from 1 or 2 things, and really in *his* opinion only 1, Delphi 2010 was basically a bug fix release with lots of little tweaks here and there. They charged full price for it of course and won't be retrofitting those bug fixes to Delphi 2009 or 2007 (where they would be of most use).
