Delphi 2006 is wonderful.
Really, it is. Borland has fully redeemed themselves for the less-than-stellar Delphi 2005. After the third update and some unofficial patches, Delphi 2005 was okay (and indeed I was using it regularly and enjoyed it)… but
Delphi 2006 is wonderful!
It’s stable and has lots of great features to make a programmer more productive. There’s not much more I can say about it — I just like it!
I’m working on the next version of Daily Bible and Prayer and my usual semi-annual update of SwordSearcher, and I am just as happy as I can be using Delphi 2006 for the work.
One great bonus for users of my software: Delphi 2006 has a more efficient memory manager, so compiled applications actually run faster. I’m looking forward to the new releases.
(Oh, and I haven’t blogged much recently because I’ve been busy programming!)
