Mark, I have no idea how long you have been programming or how long you want to continue programming. Useful lifetime of programmers who refuse to look at new technologies can be very short. CBuilder is continued revolution like Delphi (and soon Delphi 97). It is all about productivity. If you haven't used CBuilder, you owe it to yourself to at least try it. Then come back here and engage me in a discussion of pros and cons versus Microsoft Visual C++ 4.1. (I am currently involved in a 8 person effort with MSVC 4.1). That project would have been long over with a tool like CBuilder. Decision to use MSVC was not technical, but a fear that Borland as a company was in trouble and "betting with Microsoft is safe inspite of productivity gains of several factors." Use of CBuilder by Oracle is not just an endorsement of technology, but is more than that. It is a recognition by Oracle that Borland is a long term and viable player in tools market for the developer. That is the kind of endorsement that carries weight with a lot of managers and VPs at companies. You comment about CBuilder being a marginal improvement just shows your ignorance.
