I remember that you had to keep the installer lying around in Documents and Settings (Users) for it to install updates or uninstall. So gigs of data just sat there. And it took FOREVER to install. I remember the Intellisense would do the equivalent of a disk defragment whenever you wanted it to pop up. CodeGuard gave many false positives. The linker would crash frequently. The VCL is mostly Delphi code as far as I remember with C++ bindings in some way?? It had bugs. The TClientDataSet item would get incredibly slow when it grew to any significant size. STL containers are 4000% superior. I suppose this is why compiler-extensions were advised against by Bjarne, but necessary when they were introduced as the standard C++ didn't support all the __fastcall stuff Borland wanted to do, I suppose?
