Delphi and it's components are still nice. But their C++Builder seems like if just keeps getting worse. Instead of maintaining the Borland compiler and debugger they've been replacing it with new ones that work about a quarter as well.

The move to Clang was to support C++11 and C++17 language features. The classic Borland compiler was stuck at C++03.

The debugger situation has slowly been improving but there is a unification of using LLDB for all platforms.

Still fairs better than anything Microsoft has done with C++ tooling for GUI development.
