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.<br>

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.<br>
<br>
So ... I take it you're happy with 10.2 Tokyo? No serious issues?<br>
<br>
thanks,<br>
