> Would somebody please compare different C# development tools, such as MS
Visual Studio and Delphi 2005, C# and Delphi.net?
A bit hard to review D.2005, since it doesn't have a public beta like
VS.
Broadly, though: D.2005 has refactoring support roughly comparable to
VS.2005, but doesn't have the auto-formatter that VS.2003 had, nor
does it appear to have the navigation tools (class and member
dropdowns) that VS.2003 had. VS.2005 has lots of great little menus to
write interface stubs, or create a stub fn that you called without
defining, or add using statements, &c; I don't believe that
Delphi.2005 has any.
C# is as typesafe as Delphi, and much cleaner. A C# class is almost
always significantly smaller and easier to read than the functionally
equivalent Delphi class.
