Sorry, but NOT.  I've used both, and Borland is great (they are a great  
company) but NeXT wins hands down.  I won't go into a long list of  
features comparing the two but try this recent example I came across.
For a projet I am working on my project partners and I needed a matrix  
greater in size than the screen.  We tried to make a scrolling matrix in  
Borland C++ w/ Frameworks.  Couldn't do it.  On the NeXT all I had to do  
was draw the matrix and "group in scroll".  It just works :).
