This comment is of some concern to me.  I use Borland compilers, and am
about to upgrade to the new version (either Builder or 5.0 (right?)). 
Is there some significant reason Borland is bad?  Should I go with
something else? (Please dont say DJGPP, I'm addicted to the IDE).

I'm not interested in getting drawn into a best compiler war, but if
there is a good reason to avoid the new Borland compilers, I would like
to know before I go spend several hundred dollars on one.

Thanks.

Ron
