Berocoder 13 Posted June 2 Builtin Refactoring in Delphi is bad. I think we all agree that MMX Explorer works better. Have there ever been any talk with Embarcadero about use MMX Explorer instead? There is a link https://www.facebook.com/groups/137012246341854/permalink/7883294345046900/ that discuss replace builtin refactoring. Any license problems? 1 Share this post Link to post

Current state: it is actively maintained it is available for a couple of recent Delphi versions it is free for all Delphi SKUs Would you bet on all that not going to change? 1 1 Share this post Link to post

You would have to use the latest version of the IDE to have the latest version of MMX. The only thing that could be better in theory is integration. They would see what could be improved to make it work better. On the other hand, it does not work for the Bookmarks or the Parallel debugger or even for the KSVC. 2 Share this post Link to post

I simply cannot see anything like that going to happen in the foreseeable future. BTW, I still even refuse to provide MMX via GetIt for several reasons. 2 1 Share this post Link to post
