Can you base your fanciful assumption on anything substantial?

This is very strange: There are TWO versions of the same topic page:

I believe they have a certain economic pressure to release a number of new features for each new version. But at the same time, maybe they don't have the resources to thoroughly test these new features. So I see a two-fold problem: First, the economic pressure is part of the general economic situation in the US which is characterized by impending hyperinflation. On the other hand, a better allocation and distribution of resources may help.

Thanks for googling, but this only reveals wrong Embarcadero design decisions: While the Floating Form Designer in previous IDE versions was PERSISTENT between sessions (meaning that the Floating Form Designer was saved as a part of the IDE Desktop and being restored after an IDE restart) this is not the case in Delphi 11 Alexandria and it still has bugs: Select a TButton control in the floating second editor showing the Form Designer, then focus the button in the Structure panel, then focus the embedded editor showing the Code Editor, then select the Button Event handler in the Object Inspector and double-click it and you get this error message: This means that the communication between the Editors does not work. This means that this whole feature of the "Second Editor" has not been tested and is HALF-BAKED and IMMATURE. Why do they release such half-baked features?

Thank you for WUPPDI! We are waiting with excitement.

Unfortunately, the native Delphi WelcomePage in Delphi 11 Alexandria still does not have any functionality for creating custom folders like in WUPPDI. Is it possible to edit the source of the native Embarcadero WelcomePage?

I too!

Here is a set of demos specifically for Delphi 11 Alexandria: https://github.com/Embarcadero/RADStudio-DemoKit/tree/main/11-demos As of now, there are 5 demos in this collection: RichEdit Draft RAD 11 Demos 21 days ago TTreeView VCL Themes 13 days ago TZipFile Update to the form, removed unused button and added label to show the… 19 days ago Win11Corners Create readme.md 13 days ago Wsl2 Wsl2Demos 13 days ago

Do you mean the MINIMAP? That is a feature of advanced text editors like UltraEdit: A reduced preview of the entire text.

Once you get used to it, you can't do without these plugins. I hope they will also add a single keyboard shortcut to show the Bookmarks panel.

I admit that my conclusion is subjective (just like yours). I should have said: "In the current form it is useless for me".

After having installed GExperts in Delphi 11 Alexandria I always get this error message when closing the IDE: This happened also in the previous versions of the IDE.

The error still persists. Clicking OK on the error message does not help - the error message just returns in an infinite loop.

The Add Method dialog still seems a desperate attempt to pack as many things as possible into the smallest possible space like in a tuna can: Please give them controls more room. There is no need to SQUEEZE everything. Please INCREASE THE WIDTH of the dialog. No one is forcing you to squeeze everything together. Thank you!

People's tastes are just different: some love canned tuna, others prefer chef's menus.

It is not a lot of stuff. But it's stuff that REALLY WORKS! The people at DevExpress are really smart developers.

The ultimate LAYOUT SOLUTION: https://docs.devexpress.com/WindowsForms/3407/controls-and-libraries/form-layout-managers/layout-and-data-layout-controls/layout-control/layout-control The same exists for VCL.

DevExpress has a LayoutControl that works perfectly even on High-DPI screens. I advise everyone to try out the DevExpress LayoutControl just to get a feeling of what Flexible Layout means.

Nobody has blamed software developers. This is not a True/False (dialectic) issue. That is true. The solution is User-Configurability: Resizable dialogs, flexible layouts, GUI Font Size settings. The time of naive static UIs is long gone.

Wouldn't all problems be solved if you would allow editing this GUI font size?

Software developers often tend to shift the blame for software malfunctions onto the users of their software (like politicians tend to blame the voters ). User configurations can be very different. Software developers should take this into account.

Successfully installed Delphi 11: But the text size in the Menu, Welcome page, Object Inspector, etc. is VERY SMALL! Is there a setting to increase the overall text size of the IDE GUI?

The table of Compiler Versions has not yet been updated for Alexandria:
