Criticism
Some people would like to port their Win32 Delphi code to Prism as is. This is not possible because while Prism looks like Delphi there are enough changes to make it incompatible for a simple recompile. While the name appears to give it the appearance of another version of Delphi that is not completely true.
On top of the language differences the Visual Component Library framework is not available in Delphi Prism. This makes porting even more difficult because classic Delphi code relies heavily on the VCL.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“To be just, that is to say, to justify its existence, criticism should be partial, passionate and political, that is to say, written from an exclusive point of view, but a point of view that opens up the widest horizons.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
“Parents sometimes feel that if they don’t criticize their child, their child will never learn. Criticism doesn’t make people want to change; it makes them defensive.”
—Laurence Steinberg (20th century)
“... criticism ... makes very little dent upon me, unless I think there is some real justification and something should be done.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
