For me, it's good, not perfect, but still usable

Not yet ready for commercial use, but very potential IDE for cross platform app development, to monitor.

This review is about Rad Studio, and in particular Firemonkey as everything is now cross platform where – few would today develop an app in the traditional Rad Studio.

The good about Rad Studio/Firemonkey is the visual development, and the C++ development. Unfortunately Embarcadero is still considering Pascal as the focus despite new potential developers are at C++/C# not willing to develop in Pascal.

The bad is, most key components are having show stopping bugs. Key components such as TButton, TLabel, TCombo, TStringGrid all have graphics issues and bugs – plus colors and styles is almost impossible to customize. Components for communication and database are unreliable, many components are not fully developed – often work in Pascal but not in C++. Embarcadero does unfortunately use the resources to further develop new servers, and Linux support, instead of fixing the bugs at the base level.

Instead of adding reliable support for Amazon and Google cloud, Embarcadero try develop their own "Amazon AWS", which is of cause unrealistic – they should work with Amazon AWS and Google Cloud, not against. Embarcadero should skip their proprietary database, and focus on supporting AWS and Google databases. The whole idea of moving to the cloud is to scale and to have save data and zero database administration, which Rad Server does not provide. Embarcadero should also skip the Rad Server, since the future is server less,to scale, and zero admin of databases and servers – Rad Server is do-it-your-self admin. Datasnap never worked reliably, cannot scale, is a dead track to follow.

In general Embarcadero had/have too many balls in the air, not securing the base level – the development of the app itself – before they continued with new heavy development projects such as the Rad Server – a fatal decision.

I give 3 stars for the visual development IDE, and the C++ support, and for the potential future commercial use – hopefully Embarcadero will get the bugs fixed and enhanced the key components at the base level – true support for AWS and Google Cloud is not so important, actually not recommended, better and more flexible to access via HTTPS POST (TNetHTTP) and add support for the REST – till then, Rad Studio/Firemonkey is not for commercial use, but at the experimental level.

(Support for compiling to browsers would hit the nail for Firemonkey, the only platform not supported)
