Now understand, thanks. However i cannot fully agree. Linux community
created some kind of environment that constantly changes. They offer ways to
be compatible with that environment. However no one side (neither Borland,
nor Linux community) make a step towards to eachother.

Borlands failure was to take advantage of open source development. IMO,

your compiler and wxWindows libs independant of the IDE.

Microsoft's development tools business was broken out as separately reported P&L
entity, it would easily be one of the ten largest software firms in the
