Just because I love to give Tim a bad time and do it for almost every new IDE released....

It's been about a week since XE7 released to the general public. When will EDB be available for XE7?

I would estimate mid-late October.

Anybody with source code license should be able to compile one if really
needed meanwhile.

i.e. very little has actually changed between XE6 and XE7

so why are EMB expecting us to shell out $$$ for a new version??

Agree - the list of fixes is not that impressive to being with
(http://edn.embarcadero.com/article/44049) and of course for VCL
developer there is very little.

The "new" features are basically BS as well - most of them look like
library enhancements to me or something that does not warrant as new
version.

This should have been XE6 Service Pack.

We do use delphi commercially so the cost is not a major issue (we'd pay
annually for any product). For occasional use i think delphi has become
prohibitively expensive compared with other choices.  I don't use delphi
for personal projects anymore not have for a while.

However the problem for us is that switching delphi versions is a lot of
work and since we can't get bug-fixes for whatever version we are moving
to (fixes would always be on the next product) we usually do an upgrade
every 5 years or so.

It has been mostly web and mobile lately :

- tried Javascript few times but mainly playing with EWB and waiting
eagerly for EWB 2.

- mobile side it's Eclipse (migrating to Android Studio) and XCode

- rest of the time i try to pick something new to try and learn (python
and node.js for example) but never seem to have enough time actually use
it - meaning i need to do a proper project to get into it properly.

I had a look at Eclipse just after I bought my tablet, downloaded the Android SDK and tried to create a simple app. Decided that if I wanted to watch paint dry I'd go and paint something. Gave up

Like me then. I learn better by getting my hands dirty rather than reading about it.

So does ElevateDB work with XE7?
I've got a new project starting shortly and would appreciate any clarity

I think Lance's question gives a sort of clue to the answer I might give.
