I've used VB3,VB5,D1,D3,D4 and now JB2. If you want my opinion I'd use Delphi whenever possible. It's very fast on NT and beats VB hands down in every way I can think of (not even the same class of tools.) JBuilder is still new and shaky...nowhere near as polished as Delphi. The only advantage Java has is it's "platform independent" and you can share components (beans) between IDEs (except J++ which is wandering lost in it's own little world.) I'm just using Java to write intranet based applets that will supply both our PC and Mac users with database info. I plan to go back to Delphi for all desktop applications until JBuilder is stable and BorPrise delivers. >> I have a client that is moving from developing for a Unix platform to >> developing for Windows NT client.
