Hello Scott.

I love the Delphi IDE! Mind you, it is not perfect, but there are a lot of 
things I always miss as soon as I have to use something else or - even worse - 
a simple editor. I don't really do that much GUI programming, but even for real 
programming (in contrast to point-and-click program building) the Delphi IDE is 
great.

 SA> but it does seem a tad faster in production than VP.
And the code it produces is faster. I know, I have seen the code VP generates. 
;-) No, really, Delphi's optimizing compiler is better than VP's, which does 
not mean that VP's compiler is bad.

You know that the IDE supports the "classic" keyboard layout? I would have some 
trouble if that wasn't possible. ;-)

War? Which war? I don't remember any war! ;-)
