Hi.

The story of C++ Builder, Delphi and RAD Studio is very similar to the story of Visual C++, Visual Basic and Visual Studio. (In fact, I suspect they may be cause and effect.) Once upon a time, when Borland was in charge of development, it only developed C++ Builder and Delphi, two separate but highly compatible development tools. They were two language-specific IDEs. I am not sure who came up with the idea of RAD Studio; CodeGear or Embarcadero. But RAD Studio is like Visual Studio today. RAD Studio supports both C++ Builder and Delphi languages. Buying RAD Studio is like buying both Delphi and C++ Builder. Only buying the two separately costs €11,937.60, while buying only RAD Studio costs €6,715.20. These prices, of course, do not include subscription costs.

Best regards,
