Sasfely remove? Why do you need them at the office if you dont use them?

With no regrets :-)

At the office I never remove stuff. You never know. Hell, I was doing
Turbo Vision in 2000 or 2001.

D7 because "It Works" (R) (TM)

D7 fixed all the gotchas of using common controls, and was the last "Delphi"
IDE. It's the most popular.

D6 was a mess.

D5 was stable, but doesn't support XP/Vista/Seven common controls. Very
popular still.

D4 was a mess.

D3 has plenty of hangers on.

I still have a number of D3 applications I am supporting out in the field.
They make heavy use of a number of 3rd party components. The expense of
upgrading all those components to a more recent Delphi does not make
economic sense and would not add any functionality needed by those programs.

I have been more cautious about using 3rd party components since D3 to make
Delphi upgrades easier and cheaper. Of course if I need some wiz-bang,
expensive component to get the job done I have to go for it.
