I will continue using Borland products in the future where there are no
adequate *free* alternatives. (BTW I prefer non-GPL *free* where
possible since GPL actually imposes more restrictions on me then other
*free* licenses -- like making non *free* stuff with it ;-D *puts on
his flame proof jacket*)
So I'll not be using JBuilder for instance (when I have a choice)
Borland has gotten WAY too greedy for what that is (and its a
bit...heavy)...I've come to like the alternatives better.
I'll now feel free to use other tools. I'd like to try Kylix one day
but I'm not so sure how far into something like Pascal I want to get.
So anyhow...I also want to wait for implementation before passing a
final judgment. Just cause this guy says "we'll change we promise" does
not make it so.

The avalanche has already started. It is too late for the pebbles to
