Problems with C++Builder:
The intelli-sense (or whatever you want to call it) is
much slower than Delphi.
The intelli-sense is less accurate.
WHY?  Because C++ is much harder to parse on the
fly...

Your argument about compile time vs runtime does not
hold in the context of a RAD tool.  Delphi is far
better suited to RAD because the language is not
complicated by MACROS and MULTIPLE INHERITANCE etc.
Two way tools are actually far easier to implement
with Delphi's language than with C++.  The structure
of Units (implementation / interface sections) lends
itself to far cleaner pre-compilation than
pre-compiled header files do.

BTW, I've used both languages extensively so I do know
C++ quite well.
