I agree - BUGGY & BORDERLINE USELESS,
By "rcolvin10" (Tampa, FL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Borland C++ Builder 6 Personal (CD-ROM)
I have used versions 3, 4, & 5 over time. I just updated to 6 and what a mess. I can not get complex numbers to work at all. It is a simple thing to do - include <complex.h> and declare the variable complex<double> a. Just adding these two lines to a new application fails to compile under version 6.If you want support, it is $225 per case/question unless you pay for a support contract (didn't ask what that cost). Your other options include checking the FAQ database or posting to the newsgroup. If you post to the newsgroup, someone else (not from borland) must feel like replying with an answer - good luck on that happening.

Amazing Product for Serious Development,

This review is from: Borland C++ Builder 6 Personal (CD-ROM)
Although I cannot comment on this version of Borland C++ Builder, the company I work at switched from Visual Studio to Borland C++ Builder Enterprise about 6 months ago. I have to say that I am extremely impressed with the Enterprise version. Have never seen anything like it before (well, VB was kind of like it, only nowhere near as good).Our company has increased it's turnover thanks to this product, as we're now completing projects in a fraction of the time. The only thing that concerns me is the 'head architect' dude who left Borland and went to Microsoft. You can really see his work shining through the new Microsoft Visual Studio .NET environment, and I dare say that VS .NET is much easier to use than VS6. I am also a little concerned about the lack of support there is when it concerns the use of Borland's MIDAS (now called DataSnap) 3-tier technology (not available in the Personal release). In terms of 3-tier architectures, Borland (IMHO) wins hands down. DataSnap is brilliant and easy to use. Just need more help on DataSnap for BCB6 (there is plenty for Delphi). A very satisfied customer...

BUGGY....borderline useless,
By Jeremy Payne (Edmonton Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Borland C++ Builder 6 Personal (CD-ROM)
I have been a developer for a number of years. I have used visual c++, as well as borland's c++ builder. I have to say, that even though vc++ has its problems, none of them hold a candle to the kind of bugs bcb has. I cant count the number of times, borland has thrown an assertion, or an access violation just from selecting a break point! There are even bugs in the vcl code that prevent compiling! Here is a typical scenario:I boot up bcb. I open my project. I build it. I run it. It decides i havent built it yet so it rebuilds it, then shows me an error in some vcl file. ???? I rebuild it manually (after shutting down builder and restarting). No error, runs fine. Another scenario: Same as above, but borland randomly decides to throw an assertion while debugging, forcing a shut down of borland from the task manager (thus losing all my breakpoints, and if i havent saved, all my save info). All i can say is GRRRRRRRRR!
