OK, here is my first update on Delphi 2005....
The Good:
1. There is nearly a component for everything.  This thing ships with a lot of the pieces that are missing from Visual Studio.Net.
2.  So far all my old Delphi code still works!  So far...  :)
3.  The amount of things that you can do with this thing is unreal.  Between Delphi Win32, Delphi.NET, and C# I rule the windows world!
The Bad
1. Startup time is slow(er than Visual Studio 2003).  Almost obnixious slow.  I mean come on: do you have to load EVERYTHING into memory to load the app?
2.  It has crashed on me once so far.  For a new product (I consider it new anyway) that isn't bad.  But when it crashed, it just disapleared.  I lost my changes and it went away.
3. Adding files to the project is non-standard and/or non-intuitive.  Or else I am idiot and missed the option.  To add a unit to the project: First you select the project, then go to the Toolbox, then find the unit tab.
Why isn't there a File->Add File option...could be, but I can't find it.
Note: wonderful part about blogs, if it turns out that I am an idiot and I'm wrong -- I can update the blog and look smarter.
