Very compelling Julian. Would you know to which extent C# Builder
imposes itself on a developer so as to enforcesuch a constraint?

I have it on here. As I understand it, you simply aren't allowed to
sell anything you make with it.

"C#Builder vs. VS .NET: Choose Wisely

With Borland's new C#Builder, VS.NET now has a real competitor. Both
are great tools, but which will work best for you?"

First, just to be clear, I am a Borland Employee, so obviously my
comments will be colored slightly ;-)

C# builder, has some additions that might be compelling under some
circumstances, namely MDA and database connectivity.

MDA, Model driven architecture, C# builder includes a technology called
ECO (enterprise core objects) this is a pretty exciting technology and
provides a mechanism to implement your UML model directly, and also to
provide a persistence framework that will auto"magically" persist your
business model.

Database connectivity, C# builder provides providers that give native
access to Oracle, Db2, Interbase and others (sybase for example is
coming soon) this is not in addition to ADO.NET, these drivers are
ADO.NET providers on steroids, they also provide the ability to preview
data in the designer, and to migrate from one platform to another with
just the change of a property (well a couple of properties actually)

Now in the interests of fairness, VS is also a pretty solid IDE, both
C# builder and VS use the same compiler and forms designers(included
with the framework sdk) both IDE's install the framework sdk. Most
sofware examples and resources on the net assume VS and there is more
3rd party plugins for VS.

Hope that helps, I hope I haven't confused the issue.
