Delphi Hater's Blog Summary

Delphi Hater's Blog gives clear, objective reporting.

What you will find:
- Check each fact, each claim, what do you find?
Each statement is backed by facts and unbiased reporting, such as:
- Why do you think each vendor failed?
- Why did the vendor act in such manner?
- Why are products made with Delphi so horrible?
- Why don't vendors clean up their act and fix errors?

- Technical breath and depth of articles
You won't find any other magazine that report in-depth into errors and mistakes.

- This blog is testimony to what Delphi has become:
- the programming language that reaches 1% market share
- poor quality libraries made with Delphi "touted" as "best", "excellent"
- bad bugs in Delphi leads to poor quality products
- poor quality products leads to poor sales
- poor sales leads to few Delphi jobs...

with few Delphi jobs, expensive "subscription" prices, what's the point?
...and where this blog starts.

DelphiHater gives clear reasons WHY Delphi failed, WHAT went WRONG and...

Why don't Borland, CodeGear, DevCo, Imprise Embarcadero and their Technical partners CLEAN UP THEIR ACT?

Maybe they won't clean up their act and continue making as much money as possible...

Assuming that figure's correct, was it ever higher? Back in the day, most Windows devs used VB and the rest VC++ (MFC rules!); now they all use C#. Plus ca change!

"Maybe they won't clean up their act and continue making as much money as possible..."

Yeah, because making as little money as possible in its later years was great for Borland. No, wait...

That question should be left for the investors. Everyone who works in Borland/ Imprise/ DevCo/ CodeGear gets paid.

Question: why don't Borland/ Imprise/ DevCo/ CodeGear fix bugs and stop adding features until it's stable?

Or maybe, you sell bad product, get TeamB to endlessly argue with every person who bring up bugs to the newsgroup?

Very nice customer slurvice, right?

Simple. Fix some bugs, and get a new version of Delphi, force us to buy a new version every year, and these new version! Come with others news bugs... is this a life cycle of Delphi.
