    I found bug in IDE:
    Code:
    program Project1;
    
    uses
      SysUtils; // Right mouse - Find Declaration
    
    var
      SysUtils &#58; Integer; // IDE cursor go here &#58;&#41;
    begin
    end.
    SP1 for BDS 2006 fix him, but Turbo Delphi... ;)

    So the question is whether the Turbo suite will have enough flexibility to make it the great hobbyist development ide that Borland hopes it is.

    I'm discouraged that they felt they had to limit the software in some way before releasing it. At least if it didnt support some complex language structures such as interfaces or something, that would be better than cutting off support for 3rd party addons. Most commercial projects I've worked on have relied heavily on 3rd party components and controls, and as a freelance developer, the Turbo ide certainly wouldnt have cut it.

    Download Font Studio 4.21 here.

    Interfaces are not sexy enough to motivate people to buy the full product. I think Borland made the right decision, the ability to install custom components is interresting enough to buy the full version, while the free version can still be used to develop very interresting software.

    If you want a fully free tool, that exists and it is called Lazarus.

    It's not designed to be used by freelance developers or for full scale commercial projects. Freelance developers should be charging enough so that they can pay for the full version, while hobbiest developers can download and use the Turbo version.
