More interesting imho is that they also offer a Community Edition of C++Builder: https://www.embarcadero.com/products/cbuilder/starter

Back in the days (~ 25 years ago) it was the standard IDE to use for writing C++ Windows programs. But it was Borland back then iirc before Embarcadero took over.

From what I've heard (from podcasts) the challenge of C++ Builder is catching up with Clang to add their additional C++ language features.

That doesn't seem fair. Apple had the same issues with their native clang compiler for a decade; and they were the primary sponsor/host of it.

The open source version will always be bleeding edge compared to any commercially packaged version. C++17 support, in general, is pretty good for a visual editor. IMO, at least.

They should open source and upstream their patches to clang and llvm, and let the llvm community maintain it.
