I forgot to mention two other things that I found extremely usefull in Delphi... that I miss in vi an easy way via keyboard shorcut to jump to the function/procedure definition and the ability to dig into the code... if I used a pre-declared function/variable/constant I could jump to the piece of code where it was declared even if it weren't part of my application which was powerfull and an excellent way to learn.
