Here's a reason you don't hear every day. If I make more purchases the software
will just be stolen from me. I have been the victim of multiple burglaries in
the past. There is never any evidence of breaking and entering so the police do
nothing. Insurance pays so little and demands receipts for everything. Result -
I am out the stolen items and cannot replace them. Insurance also does not pay
for the time I put in on the projects that were stolen from me. First my backup
CDs were stolen. Then the computers from which the backups were made were also
stolen.
I have moved 4 times in 2 years. Valuables and business information were stolen
over time. A folder with gold coins in a locked room once existed. One coin
would disappear. Then, a week later, another coin would disappear. No visible
forced entry to the house or the room. I lived alone. It seems like there is no
way to stop someone from stealing from me. What can I do when someone steals my
livelihood no matter where I move to? I always lock the doors. Has anyone else
had this problem? How did you handle it?

Some reason people have given include :
- the RB 5.5 IDE launches and executes quicker than RB 2005/2006 on
the same hardware
- compiles in 5.5 are faster
- the IDE itself. It has floating palettes for controls which
people with multiple monitors prefer
- the debugger lets you modify values as you debug (2005/2006 doesn't)
- stability. The 5.5 IDE rarely quits or crashes and the 2005/2006
IDE did so more frequently (although I find them reasonably stable)
- don't need the new features of 2005/2006 and associated new bugs
& issues
- support for older Mac OS systems (which is why some people are
still using version 4 and 5)
and I'm sure there are some I've missed.
Personally I've been using 5.5 and 2005. I have not moved any
projects up to 2006R2 yet as my client is about to release.
2006R1 was not usable for them because of a few bugs and 2006R2 hit
too late in the cycle to move up to it before release. That may
happen after release as there are a number of bug fixes in 2006R2
that they could use.
