I wouldn't call XE5 a pile of crap (but trust you when you say XE2 is).
Having said that I still ran into bugs in XE5 that really should have
been cleared by the QC/testing process before release especially
observing the fact that these bugs will never be fixed, which devalues
my toolkit quicker than I can justify.

Very true. I'm well versed in the Delphi development environment, but
every time I hit this stumbling block I'm thinking whether or not to
switch to something else.

So ... I take it you're happy with 10.2 Tokyo? No serious issues?

thanks,
