I started with TurboPascal 1.0 'way back in the day and have been using Delphi 5 since... well, seems like forever. It looks like the latest version of Delphi would be a good product to switch to, but for the cost. My goodness! "In the beginning", the Borland products were priced so that the common man could afford them and make useful stuff. Now... looks like they specifically don't want the "common man" as a customer.Egh wrote:And considerably cheaper than 2010 Delphi I suspect )
I've looked at Lazarus, but the conversion effort from v5 appears substantial, esp. since I use a lot of 3rd party VCL.
Mr. Ghisler, I'm curious why you are putting effort into a Lazarus TC.
Would you kindly list the benefits you saw that justified the conversion?
