Unhappy with this blog? Debunk it instead...

Your reviewer was looking at nasty insults by stupid Delphi developers. They are the same kind who like to use all non-legal software, claim to be very honest but download DevExpress non-legal version, Dbisam non-legal version...

If you're not happy about this blog, go and debunk it instead....


- Your reviewer wrote Delphi In Russia, Rent a Coder - money back guarantee and many other postings which have no criticism on the content. I wonder why? Maybe because I write with brutal honesty and accuracy.

- Your reviewer challenges people to make a big extensive website with IntraWeb they can deploy. Yet, nobody have seem to taken that challenge seriously. Wonder why Jolyon Smith (Delphi in NZ) uses WordPress? Why can't he use IntraWeb to host his own blogging site?

- Why is there so many Visual Studio and C# articles on TeamB.com? Maybe because the whole TeamB uses Visual Studio or maybe it's time to ask Craig (TeamB) to start writing about Delphi articles?

- Saying the usual insults won't help. It only reinforce the message "Delphi is dead", the "newsgroup are full of trolls that defend Delphi", but if you look deep inside Delphi, may developers are tired of paying for this and that, more like borderline towards earning nothing or no money.

- The jury is out on the Tea Leaves - 64bit Delphi. This is all based on educated guessing. If there is anything to say, Embarcadero would have easily released the 64-bit product. Why bother wait until near the end of this year? (Maybe they want the current SA for Delphi-XE to expire so they can collect even more money)

- Wonder why nobody use WxWidget with C++ Builder? Or how about QT with C++ Builder? Surely, if Embarcardero C++ Builder is sooooo good, nobody would complain... except maybe nobody uses C++ Builder...

- Why not call up some of the people whose companies are featured on "Vendors who stopped supporting Delphi" blog posting and ask for their opinion about Delphi? They will tell you very honestly and very factually about what they think about it.

Perhaps it's time that you write something usefull. Something like the use of .net datagridview for delphi developers, or the sqlcommand and the parameter builder... or .net datetime... or a memory table vs Tclientdataset... or something that really help to abandon delphi.
I work with Delphi since TurboPascal and I am migrating to VS2010 (C# flavour). Think abouth this, stop crying and help!

Negative posts and blogs as yours are very welcome. They depict the real healt (or disease) of a project. I welcome your efforts in writing those posts. By writing such negative comments you become even a bigger supported of Delphi. If I see a new post from Marco Cantu and Delphi Hater's I usually read yours first. I am still a net neutral Delphi user. I am aware that it is a dying breed but yet do not see a chance to post 1 mil LLOC to C++/Qt.
