Top Rated RAD Studio Alternatives
Delphi is effective which is why we use it. The inclusion of version control systems and a directory run by the community would improve the experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The connection of the IDE in older versions is terrible, and version control systems are not integrated. Integration with version control systems can help to improve it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

RAD Studio is the integrated development environment (IDE) that brings to life the paradigm of rapid active development (RAD). WYSIWYG form editor and rich native components as well as many open-source third-party components make the development of business apps much faster, visual, and develop-friendly. RAD Studio supports using the same components across C++ and Delphi projects, so you can use components that are familiar to you in every project regardless of the programming language you are using at the moment.

Unfortunately, there are no public components marketplaces for RAD Studio at the moment, so you need to google the right components for your projects by yourself. Sometimes, the code lint is unstable and tells you that there is an error while there isn't. If you have a very big project (millions of code lines), the compiler sometimes outputs an access violation error, then you need to do the full rebuild of the project or restart the IDE.

We use Delphi because it is extremely productive. As a language Delphi doesn't have the complexity of C++ or the performance issues of Java. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have yet to find anything that I dislike about RAD Studio. We use both the C++ environment and Delphi. Definitely prefer Delphi over C++. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The way the IDE evolved is the best thing from a very basic pascal application to a wide range of VCL, FMX, and cross-platform apps.
I love the debugging, output application settings, version control integration etc.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
IN old versions the IDE looks very bad and has no integration to version control systems. It can be improved by providing the integration to version control systems Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
RAD Studio leans on a very stable development language Object Pascal which has lots of 3rd party components and tools to make developing complex applications simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
In the past updates have been far and few between but the last 3 years there has been real attention to releasing new updates and fixes regularly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I've used Delphi for years, and it is constantly the first development tool I turn too for most development tasks. With support for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android, it is fantastic to create an app on any platform I need to target. There is a fantastic community and ecosystem of 3rd party components and developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Needs a better web solution and easier to discover community driven directory of packages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The interface is nice. The integration with the components and tools we use in the menus and toolbars works well. I like the placement of the menus and how easy it is to customize the look and feel of the environment. This part is essential as it allows me and the other developers to set things up so we can access the tools we need more quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It does take a bit to load everything on startup. There are also times components do not load correctly and so I've had to close and reopen the program. I have also have troubles with temp files remaining in my system after I close the program. I found code online to create a batch file to correct this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
