I have the subscription since over a year. The Article wasn't half so negative. Kylix got mostly hit for not cleanly importing code out of Delphi-5 Projects and for having a somewhat incomplete Database support library. Things that one can expect to be cleaned up by version 2.0 Thanks for reminding me that I had the article. > > > I realy like KDevelops price !!

I haven't gone mad ! :-) (moo). I also read a rather difficult to understand reply. I gather that the author was less than impressed and wanted me to release the software for free, so here just one comment. I never ruled something along those lines out - a somewhat limited version of course. I am a Linux fanatic (certified!!) and would like nothing more than to give something back to the Open Source Community. But I also have to remember my non-open source wife and family who would like to see something coming out of all the hours I spend on the computer. > > Ciao, > F@lk - to unsubscribe from this list send an email to kdevelop-request@kdevelop.org with the following body: unsubscribe »your-email-address«
