    Ok things that can be left out of delphi 2009.
    - Rave Reports
    - Lite version of install shield application / installaware
    - Vcl for the web (aka all iw controlls) / websnap / internet express
    - Ribbon controls
    - Teechart Std.
    - icon collections
    - Interbase components
    - dbGO (dao / msaccess)
    - Indy components (but i do want to be able add indy components from the latest source version)
    - Internet components (see Indy remark)
    - BDE ( who is still using it? )
    - Win3.1 components ( who is still using it? )
    - Version Control
    - Data Explorer
    - Delphi Class Explorer
    - c++ builder
    - delphi prism
    - rad studio command prompt
    - remote debugger
    - doc o matic express version

    Things that should stay
    - Data Controls
    - Data Access
    - Dialogs
    - System
    - Win32
    - Additional
    - Standard
    - Webservices
    - Debugging


    Things i am in doubt on:
    - Allow to install componts from source / use packages (my only need is sqlite/indy components)
    - dbExpress as i do want to be able to add an sqlite database in an easy way. (support for backfish sql / interbase and datasnap may be dropped) ( or but better i want to use an sqlite database with the data access components)
    - Refactoring ( i use it often, but with care i can do without it)
    - SVN support that suposedly is added in delphi xe (would be nice, but we have lived without it)
    - Offline help / documentation
    - source of supplied components

    Ok shoot on it :-)

    Also i am curious what do the free ms ide tools bring?
