I need to work a lot with C++ Builder and I like it a lot and I hate it lot of times a lot more; for me it (Embarcadero/former Borland) is the real case if a love hate.
A long time before MS they introduced a nice visual form designer, with a very clever structure (VCL, visual component library), easy to understand, easy to handle and easy to extend.
But meanwhile they are always about two “decades” behind the state of the technics.
- Even today, with RAD Studio it is a hassle to e.g. use Unicode in the source file.
- Also stability of the IDE in case of bigger projects is frustrating
I have to admit, I know VS only for small projects, but it is much more comfortable and reliable.
Anybody out there who also suffers under Embarcadero?
[Edit]
BTW I Need to work with "Embarcadero® C++Builder 10.1 Berlin Version 24.0.25048.9432"

Not Emarcadero flavour but Borland Builder 2006, so close to .NET yet so far(?) Didn't really like it or see the need for it. It's just the guy who wrote the software kept using Borland...I really only used the DOS Turbo versions at College and Uni (and liked those). Having come from the VS Windos background to the Borland (or as I christen it Bob the) Builder. It was a step sideways, it always seemed to want you to do things the Pascal way...

My experience is that the quality of Visual Studio is heavily depending which version you use. The 2001 was total crap, the 2003 on the right track, the 2005 quite nice and from 2009 really fine. Especially when running on Windows 7.

I'm using VS2013 up to VS2015 (for really small Projects/interfaces) with W7/W8.1 and I'm impressed about the Quality. Especally while developing components. With Embarcadero it's very easy to "switch off" IDE (means IDE does not start again) while having a problem in a self made component.
I'm aware, that is not an easy Job for an IDE to manage self developed components.
Borland 6 was more or less relaiable, but Embarcadero RAD 10 is the hell.
With VS I made at least the expirience that my self developed components can't take "out of order" the IDE.

Here's how you find a list of gypsys who are still ridgeroaming the www ... but should be quite happy with VS later than 2010 ...

I had to use it earlier this year and found it to be a big pile of junk. The crappy IDE aside, the compiler is horrible.
Let's put it this way; I find it preferable to use Eclipse in CentOS 6. Now that's damning.

I'm working with it since about 20 years, so I got used to it... As long as it starts up and does not abort abnormally, which happens too often

Yes indeed! But fortunately for about $140 JomiTech helps for this with TwineCompile which drastically decrease compile time (about factor 10).
But the price includes also some new side effects and the increase of the chance that the IDE crashes

Cool gadget but too pricey  I love bacon and it too messy to prepare it.

This seems like a success at least:
Quote: Archana Vemulapalli, the city’s Chief Technology Officer, said the city did not pay ransom and resolved the problem by taking the devices offline, removing all software and restarting the system at each site.

Yes, at least they seem to have had a recovery strategy. So many entities simply have nothing in place, should they be hit by a ransom virus. And the FBI's advice for such people: Pay the ransom! Inconceivable!
