in limbo yes. C#B was released 11 months ago and is hinted at its next revision
will be around D9 time. CBX just got a 1.5 release a few months ago. So at
least 2 of the three are still active, the third was active for over 3 years,
but didn't catch on and the resources are now going towards items that do
generate a better return.

CBX. In that action CBX Mobile Edition is renamed to just CBX, promissing
not much for the original CBX, wich got one patch, but nobody knows what is
repaired.

appear to fix much, it certainly didn't touch any of the numerous
problems in QC for CBX. Since then, there has been no word on future
CBX support (not mobile development) so IMHO, CBX is the product that is
'in limbo' along with BCB also.

I would only add that I wouldn't tout anything positive as
far as Kylix is concerned. Our Linux shop vetoed CBX because
of the similarity in Borland's handling of it to Kylix. They tried
Kylix, didn't like it and found that Borland's support was
horrible. CBX, to them, has the same symptoms. A lot of
promises and no follow through. I can't say that I blame them.
Actually, I find Jeff's post disturbing. We were happy when CBX 1.5 was
released as we thought it was a patch for CBX. We were told by several
Borland employees that it wasn't and that it wasn't even the same family
of products. It didn't address any bugs reported to QC anyway and was
if anything, a buggier interface for the IDE.
AFAICT at this point, the only "Active" product that Borland has is Delphi.
Yep, I know that there's some allusion to an "open letter" that will solve
all of our problems but even if it's released today and extremely positive,
who will believe it?
Borland has taken one of the most loyal customer bases that I've seen
(myself included) and destroyed it. I don't appreciate being told that my
understanding of this is incorrect because Kylix was well supported, CBX
is still active (CBX 1.5) and there will be some marvelous "open letter"
that will show me that BCB is still alive. It's like when they told us that QC
was going to be a serious tool to assist in meeting our needs and that
we should continue to use it. Then we find out that the Borland guys
don't even have a reliable way to see what's there. At any rate,
in the last year or so, NO entry in QC for BCB or CBX has been
addressed. (Actually, looking at the reports for BCB, there are still
BCB5 bugs that were never addressed and show up in BCB6 as well.)
So much for customer support.
Sorry Jeff, but that's my opinion. Sorry for the long diatribe but ...
 

gui application up to connect to a database with BCB than I ever was with
VC. I can't believe it! I get the same point n'click stuff those pissant
VB programmers got, with the power of the C++ language! I hope Borland
starts better promoting the tool, and I'd love to have better documentation
and literature on how to effectively use the tool as well.

waiting with bated breath for the Open Letter and/or breaks out a crate of
champagne when it (finally) gets published really needs to get a life. What
we need is product, not promises of product (an open letter). At the
moment, all we've got is promises of a promise of a product.....which is
{*word*76}y ridiculous! The TeamB cheerleaders can do all the high-kicks they
want, twizzle their pompoms all they want (sorry, things get a bit vague
here 'cos I'm a brit and we're not that familiar with cheerleaders <g>) but
it's all just *talk* .....
time I've subscribed to the view that QC's real raison d'etre is to keep all
the bug reports out of the public newsgroups. That's the real purpose
behind the thing.

specification and release dates - even to the nearest quarter?
And are the C#B hints stronger or weaker than the BCB hints re 'BCB9'?
