"If you want to do Windows development, and you want to work with native code in a native style, I think that Delphi 2010 is a very productive tool. It combines a lot that really saves time (such as DataSnap and IDE Insight) with the power and flexibility of native code. If you need support for certain functionality (especially touch-related items), it is the only shipping product on the market that does these things.

Every time I work with the Embarcadero team, I feel like they are writing the tools that they would love to use; they really are “developers’ developers,” and they understand the development process very well and implement it as tools quite nicely."
- Justin James, TechRepublic

"Code Audits in the Professional, Enterprise and Architect editions provide extremely helpful code and project health monitoring via an easy to use, information-rich reporting interface. The new IDE Insight makes navigating to all the plethora of options packed into the development environment as easy as a filtered Google search."
- Dr. Dobb's Journal

"I’m absolutely delighted with generics and Delphi 2010 in general. Delphi continues to amaze and impress me. Everywhere I turn, the product is well-thought out, and polished – providing enormous productivity. Clearly you all listen to your customers. I wanted to express my thanks to you and the entire team there for a job well done. Delphi 2010 rocks. All of your efforts are enormously appreciated out here!"
- Tom Field

"The enhanced RTTI and Attributes has allowed me to build dynamic reusable libraries to solve real world problems. I am sure it has saved us 100s of hours of time."
- Robert Love, DWS/DTS - CATS Team Supervisor, Utah State Government

"Delphi 2010 is the enjoyable sweet mix of a fast, stable and responsive IDE, superfast compiler, latest operating system API support, fine language enhancements such as RTTI extensions and attributes, debugger with many new capabilities and great new IDE features like IDE Insight and Delphi code formatter. After one week of intensive use of the final release now, it's clear how much attention to detail and quality Embarcadero's Delphi team put into the product. When all this comes with an unparalleled backwards compatibility for a software development product, there is only one conclusion: do yourself a favor, get Delphi 2010 and enjoy your new shiny secret weapon."
- Bruno Fierens, CEO, TMS Software

"It's easy. It's fast. It's delicious using it. Delphi 2010 is addictive to use. You guys at Embarcadero can say without fear, 'this is the best Delphi ever made.' It's pure joy. Delphi 2010 is even more responsive than the last Delphi I used (2006) and has a dbExpress Driver for Firebird which works. Delphi 2010’s IDE Insight feature is one of those things you say "how nobody thought of this before???". It's cool!”
- Fabricio Pontes de Araujo, Systems Analyst and Programmer, IBS - Info Business Solutions

"Delphi 2010 builds on all of 2009's strong points, with powerful new IDE and debugger features, improved Generics support, and the fastest compiler known to man."
- Mason Wheeler, Delphi Developer

"We have switched to RAD Studio 2010 on the very day of its release, and are thrilled by the new development experience that we are enjoying now. To me personally the most important new features in Delphi 2010 are Debugger: freeze threads, thread-specific breakpoints; seeing TDateTimes in Debugger windows; writing your own visualizers for specific datatypes (I'll write one for TFileTime), IDE insight: F6 and Gesture support.

99% of the time I am working only on my main product which is Super Flexible File Synchronizer. It's a Windows replication/backup tool, so I am using a lot of Delphi components from Embarcadero and from third parties, plus my own. I think Delphi is the best language to write such tools. It allows you to do everything, including unlimited direct Windows API access even in complex cases like the Volume Shadow API as well as Windows Explorer Shell Extensions and so forth.”
- Tobias Giesen, Director, Super Flexible Software

"Delphi 2010 makes it is easy to write efficient yet readable code, even when designing very complex systems with high performance requirements. Weaver's project management features allowed me to readily keep track of the key build steps and requirements, moving smoothly from debug stages to release of our TCompress component suite. The high level of backward compatibility [in 2010] makes it easy to continue supporting the Delphi environment with our components.

For those who have never tried Delphi, the biggest rewards will come in terms of the important tradeoff between performance and long term productivity. It is easy to write efficient yet readable code in Delphi, even when designing very complex systems with high performance requirements. And few development tools allow you to work productively on the newest operating systems with the same codebase you started designing more than a dozen years ago. Existing Delphi users will appreciate the improved help in 2010 and the continued support from a wide range of third-party developers.”
- Peter Hyde, Development Director, Webcentre Ltd

"C++Builder 2010 is the best release in its line. With the efficient class explorer it qualifies as a very competitive professional compiler, and is the only C++ compiler that allows RAD. To me it feels as if a long lost son has returned."
- Gerhard Stoltz, CEO, U-RAD Technologies CC, Eco-Tourism Reservations, Fauna, Flora and CITES Permits Legislation

"C++Builder 2010 is by far the best release for upgrading existing projects. I was able to open over 110 projects in an external editor, perform some text replacements via a macro for 3rd party runtimes, and rebuild all. And do it fast. The stability is there. It's time to start creating new projects in C++Builder 2010."
- Malcolm Smith, Proprietor, MJ Freelancing, Associate Editor, C++Builder Developers Journal

"When I'm ready to enter Windows 7, Delphi 2010 is already there. The components included in Delphi 2010 give a substantial boost to my products. And third party components are there if I need them. I enjoy using the Rapid Application Development standard to, without effort, achieve quality results. Mostly I use Delphi, but with RAD Studio I can turn to C or C++Builder when I need to."
- Bjarne Johansson, MD

"Speed optimization is essential for near-real time monitoring. Only C++Builder gave me the performances I need for such a monitoring context. C++Builder produced the fastest execution time of all other development tools I tried."
- Steve Jordi, Tiltsoft

"C++Builder makes GUI design very simple, allowing you to concentrate your time on the business end of the application. Existing C++ code and libraries can be used along with a wealth of Delphi/VCL components."
- Stephen Craig, Cubic Software

"The IDE and VCL allow us to produce the best UI in our industry. Integration with unit test tools has allowed us to produce higher quality code faster too. Couple these with database and XML support and we are able to produce full featured applications faster."
- Phyllis Lang - Knightware

"C++Builder is versatile and easy to use."
- Bruce Larrabee, Westbrook Enterprise LLC
