I have worked for some time with Delphi, however now I am developping my apps with Builder C++. What do you think is better?

C++ Builder > Borland Delphi... and the reason being that PASCAL and anything derived from it sucks, the language was never intended to be something of rather use, though Borland managed to bang it into shape by using Delphi.

Still, I think BCB is better in that it is C++ which is a little more supported these days than Pascal/Delphi.

But if you want my real opinion, move to C#... I got angry with BCB last weekend and uninstalled it and completed my first project in C#... now I wish I had moved to C# a long time ago...

Certainly I think BCB is better than Delphi. However, there is lot of people who love Delphi. In fact, when I look for a VCL component, it is easier to find one from Delphi, because there are lots of them. Even look at this forum. There is a Delphi Forum (not a Pascal one), but there is not a Builder forum (there is C/C++). Why?

I have played around with both Delphi and BCB and was amazed at the huge files BCB spits out. BCB also takes forever to compile a program.
