[ьфздф]

Finally fired up Delphi 12 and the compilation speed actually feels snappier than expected, which is a huge W. I’ve already spotted a few nifty quality-of-life tweaks that flew under the radar, but what’s the real MVP feature for you guys so far? Drop your hot takes below—I wanna see what I’m missing.

I've been playing around with Delphi 12 for a bit and I'm loving the updated VCL controls, especially the new Material Design components. They're super easy to use and look amazing on Windows 11. One thing I've noticed is that the IDE can get a bit sluggish when opening huge projects, but overall it's been a solid upgrade from Delphi 11.

Just started playing with Delphi 12 myself and gotta say, it's a game changer for enterprise level development. The IDE improvements are a big plus, especially the debugger. Anyone else using the new VCL Styles and what are your thoughts on them?

The LSP support is actually legit, finally makes code navigation feel smooth. Compile times seem way snappier too. Anyone messing with the new VCL styles yet?

Finally installed it and the startup speed is actually crazy fast compared to 11. Still digging for hidden gems, but the editor feels way snappier on my rig so far.

Finally took the plunge on Delphi 12 and the compilation speed is honestly a massive W. The new editor features are pretty slick, especially for navigating legacy code bases. Def worth checking out if you were on the fence.
