I am confused about which one is better to buy, C++BuilderX or C++Builder 6 Studio or what. I wish they had a feature matrix that compares those 2, like they do for comparing personal/pro/enterprise. Anyone have a link to some general advice on which to pick? PS: I'm looking at Windows programming only, my priorities are stability, having a good VCL (but corba/soap/etc are NOT needed), and of course great debugging tools.

C++BuilderX does not have the RAD environment to develop VCL applications in. It is more a cross-platform IDE for building projects using C++. C++Builder 6 Studio is the VCL-based RAD environment for building Windows and CLX applications.

(one more quick question) Sorry, but I just noticed they also have C++Builder Studio 6 and C++Builder 6... and the price is nearly double for Studio... Do you have a 1-2 sentence summary for the difference between those 2 as well? Back to top Remy Lebeau (TeamB) Guest Posted: Fri Jul 08, 2005 4:53 am    Post subject: Re: Which one to buy?

That depends on what you want to use them for in the first place. BCB and CBX are completely different products. BCB is Windows/Linux IDE that supports Win32 API and VCL development. CBX is a cross-platfom IDE that has no VCL at all (unless you have BCB6 installed as well), ships with the BCB6 compiler/linker, and allows you to plug in other vendors' tools in the IDE's build chain. Quote: I wish they had a feature matrix that compares those 2 Comparing them to each other would be like comparing apples to gorillas. They have almost nothing in common with each other. Quote: like they do for comparing personal/pro/enterprise. Those are different editions of the same product. You are asking for a comparison of completely different and unrelated products.
