but do not charge me for all these incremental updates to the technology! If I could have purchased Delphi XE4 and known for sure that all these future upgrades - upgrades that are still bringing FireMonkey features up to parity with the VCL - would have been available to me as free updates, I would have bought it. Seriously!? An ImageList control is just now some new feature for FireMonkey after five versions of Delphi XE? OK, fine.

But, every time I look at it, FireMonkey still appears to be lacking commonly-used features the original VCL offered.Ī full FIVE Delphi XE versions have now had this FireMonkey technology in it, and I am still not convinced it is on feature parity with the pre-Firemonkey VCL controls. I really like the idea of scalable vector-graphics controls and all the extra customization these controls may offer. I would have highly considered adopting the Delphi XE release series when the new FireMonkey stuff emerged, and I would have called it a "major release" at that point IF it was truly finished when it first came out.
Delphi xe10 review software#
How is any small developer supposed to afford keeping up with this? I suppose "software assurance" or some such perpetual-payment (to this Borland / CodeGear successor) model is recommended? Rather than adopt such a money-sucking strategy, I stopped using Delphi for the simple reason that the software would bankrupt me if I bought ever darn version they release.
Delphi xe10 review license#
Yes, there is already another Version of Delphi / RAD Studio available - the XE8 Version! If it seems like Delphi XE7 was "just released", that is because Embarcadero is pushing new versions of the Delphi programming and development platform out at the rate of approximately one new version every six months or thereabouts! That is absurd! Clearly these "new versions" are what should be released, in my opinion, as a free point-release to existing license holders of XE7 (or perhaps earlier versions still). Another 6 months, another (expensive) Delphi ReleaseĮmbarcadero keeps pushing out new Delphi versions
