If it was restricted to the form designer, I'd have to agree with you, Borland's designer feels more "fluent" than the one VS has (although D8, and I suspect D2005, use the "built-in" .NET objectinspector, which simply can't compete with Borland's own objectinspector). As for the rest of the IDE's, both offer a lot of functionality, most of which can be found in both IDE's. And both have their own little brilliant features and, of course, handicaps. The thing that annoys me most, for which neither is to blame, is the <F5> - <F9> switch =) -- Willem van Rumpt
