Visual Studio 2019 has improved a lot !

Visual Studio 2019 has improved a lot ! The IDE looks more like Delphi.

In some regards it is ahead of Delphi:

The solution explorer is better than the project manager.

The pop-ups show the full file path name when howevering over the tabs of open files.

The dark mode and syntax highlighting have catched up to the classis highlighting in Delphi.

The C/C++ compilers are possibly multi-threaded, with the introduction of many-core processors, it won't be long until C/C++ catches up to RAD.

The back and forth arrows work better than the one in Delphi to travel back and forth between different points visitted in code.

Sometimes Delphi gets confused when visitting multiple files.

In other words. Delphi cannot rest/sit on it's ass and will have to improve to stay ahead of Visual Studio.

Right now it has and is falling behind !

I am thinking of slightly switching to C/C++ because of clearer code here and there.

One of the worst things in Delphi is untyped parameters, very annoying to deal with. TStream is a total mess.

The VCL is akward and buggy.

The VCL components are incredibly lacking, always something missing, which is very frustrating and wastes a lot of time. 

Packages are broken and need more fixing/work.

Bye for now,
