Re: Still use Delphi
"There seems to be a lot of hate for .NET on here today. "
I first learned programming in GWBasic in the mid 80's. Meh.
Early early 90's, I learned Pascal with TurboPascal. YAY!
Mid 90's and Windows starts looking like it will be popular one day. WinAPI is an enormous PITA.
VB 3 Makes it sooo easy and removes the drudgery.
VB 4 and 5 improve things.
VB 6 was spot on. Fast, small, lots of useful features.
Then Microsoft starts mentioning .NET.
Then Microsoft starts mentioning VB.net won't be like normal VB.
And it wasn't.
The seeds of hate were watered by tears for what we lost.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
