I'd like to know /prog/'s opinion on C++ Builder. At work, I've been using it for a year when at first I didn't have a great opinion of it. My job goes from test bench programming to application softwares and I have to admit that the VCL makes Win32 programming way easier, code completion works wonders and the debugger while buggy is quite intuitive and complete. The way everything is made saves me so much time. Does /prog/ agree or am I getting too much of that enterprise vibe? What do you think of it in comparison to Microsoft Visual Studio?
Does it adhere to some standard now or it's still conio.h and shit?

It's a fucking terrible IDE designed by idiots. The parameter suggestion sucks. After typing twenty or so characters, the parameter information magically disappears. It also generates executables that randomly crash after adding/deleting too many resources.
If you want a IDE + GUI library for Windows that doesn't suck, use Visual Studio + Qt.
