BCB is in decline, the introduction of version 2007 can not turn the tide. While it has been attributed to C + + Builder CodeGear, but people still used to link with Borland.
Launched in 1998, Borland, C + + Builder this year a new 32-bit Windows development tools, Delphi inherited easy to use, powerful, high efficiency, and a combination of C + +, almost all the advantages.

With the VisualC + + version of the not of the upgrade, as well as function, style, and many other reasons, BCB is now gradually decline, and many users have begun to turn to use the Builder Visual was.
In 2007 CSDN, "programmers, designers, coder, web designer" sponsored by the developers a large survey, a detailed analysis of the C + + side we mainly use any IDE conditions in the currently received more than 15,000 valid questionnaires, found mainly accounted for using the VS series of 75%, BorlandC + + Builder / CBuilderX only 6%, EclipseCDT accounted for 6%, DevC + + 2%, 3% other IDE, 8% do not use IDE. For. NET development, VisualC + +2005 has a new set of syntax; new optimization techniques, can speed up the program by 30%; while the new compilation model can be generated to ensure full compliance with the above CLI Microsoft.NETFramework (CommonLanguageInfrastructure) verifiable code; new interop mode, local and managed code can provide seamless integration.
Compared with the previous two versions, the new compiler also includes an enhanced version of the buffer security check option, but also to the widespread use of C + + program library, but also a new version of focus on safety. VisualC + +2005 IntelItanium and AMD64-based 64-bit platform provides support for OpenMP standard and fixed some mixed DLL loading problem, DoubleP / Invoke performance problems, provides automatic run-time elimination. In contrast, C + + Builder2007 English early in June 2008 listing. Li Wei, director of Greater China technology from CodeGear's blog, see the CodeGear C + + Builder2007 of expectations. Although the same thing, everyone has their own perspective, there are five C + + aspects of learning and development experience Laiyong Hao said: "BCB is in decline, the introduction of version 2007 can not turn the tide. Although it has been attributed to C + + Builder CodeGear, but people still used to link with Borland.
Now Microsoft and the VC was strong, with high quality products of, CodeGear C + + and the. Net area at least three to five years will continue to hold a candle. Therefore introduction of CB2007, more extended version is based. "
