Ugh this again, thought we were done with this back in 2005.
This one resurfaces from time to time particularly if a really buggy
release gets out
Since I'm covered under the subscriptions plan, I got bug fixes,
and new features.
Big thing I'm waiting on is the SSL socket changes so I can do
ftps. I might whine on the beta if the feature gets pulled, but
would rather it work right than be buggy.
I'd say that about anything they ship; IDE, framework, and tools and
add ons like REAL SQL Server.
I'd much rather they work right than be on time and full of bugs.
Bugs in a tool that other developers use to ship products are hard to
be the developer of.
The people using it are usually quite knowledgeable about software
development and less forgiving of flaws; particularly those that
affect them directly.
Real is pretty good in most respects.
You can bitch and moan at Apple all you want and likely never get to
talk directly to an engineer.
But the XCode toolset is pretty solid as are the frameworks you use
with it.
Real is much more accessible than Apple.
RB + frameworks are not XCode + frameworks but it is moving in the
right direction.
It's all perceived value.
If it's worth it to you then upgrade.
If not then don't.
