1 stars (The old grey mare isn't what she used to be.) - I was looking forward to using Borland again. I remember when they led the industry with their innovative IDE concepts. Well they haven't changed much since then. Of the three IDE platforms that I have used (Qt, Microsoft's Visual C++.net and Borland C++ Builder and VI) this comes in second to last. Come on Borland get back into the saddle. There are other annoying factors as well. Rebuilding each and every time I choose to run in debug, the depth of the class architecture, not to mention what has already been said. Sorry Borland... I was really hoping to say something quite different. 5 stars (the standard) - for building C++ programs in Windows, this is the best route for fast program development in a visual IDE. 1 stars (A tragically flawed alternative to Microsoft Visual Studio) - The idea was great. Instead of doing RAD in VB, do RAD using C++ !! Unfortunately, the execution is deeply flawed. Based on Borlands Pascal / Delphi product, it uses many of the Pascal components that ship with Delphi. It therefore suffers from irritating Pascalisms. Add to this an unstable and buggy IDE ( just read the complaints on Borlands own c++builder forums ) and a product that is hamstrung by a small and poorly funded development team, and you have a tragically and deeply flawed implementation of an alternative to VB. To make matters worse, Borland have effectively increased the price. Many features have been shifted into the Enterprise edition. Borland seem to have effectively abandoned this product in favour of Delphi ( cash cow ) and JBuilder ( a strong contender in the Java RAD field ) Try this if you like. ( Borland have a download able trial somehere on their vast and poorly organised site ) Then weep for what might have been and move on to Visual Studio .NET ...
