It's exciting, and occasionally painful when you get new "valid" data.

Unfortunately for me, Borland perceives bytecode languages as the way of
the future for business database applications, and that is the market
the are pursuing. I hope some project appears that carries the torch
for native compiled Delphi applications.
And for those snots that do not like the term BYTECODE, please give me a
better term that gets the idea across.
 

I love good news. Now, I haven't switched from Delphi 7 to D2005 -- yet --
because I am hoping D2006/D2007 overcomes some of the D32-specific bugs
I have read about, but I am thrilled when I hear D-sales are doing
great.

developer, think of your own code, but rather what your Pointy Haired Boss
might think as you tell him you need a tool to put your shoddy code into
better shape. Explaining that refactoring is really a 'good thing' could
prove an interesting exercise when not dealing with other developers.
After all, in the old days some outfits measured productivity by the amount
of code that the developer produced. In such a world, refactoring isn't a
factor... :)
So as such... When you tell your boss that it is time for the annual
upgrade... Perhaps avoid the topic entirely. (but, and this is the second
point I was trying to make, the other features are very complex too... Put a
big "recompile and gain 20% increase in performance!" sticker on the box,
and you instantly have a feature that is easy to market)

tools.
You know just as well as I do that you can not convert VB(Visual Basic) users by claiming
tool superiority ("bah! MS will do that too in their next version!"). Kylix
was good in this regard, since that was one unique feature MS lacked. Had
the situation been handled properly, Kylix should've helped sell more Win32
SKUs. (most developers probably don't even realise that Kylix was the Linux
version of Delphi)
