RAD Studio, Delphi and C++Builder continue to come out with new features that totally revolutionize the way we develop software, and once I start using them I wonder how I ever worked with out them. Delphi introduced Rapid Application Development that we know and love. Recently with the IDE Insight it made it so much easier to navigate in the IDE, especially for those of us who love using the keyboard. Just in Berlin Update 2 we see QuickEdits, another huge productivity booster.
I'd like to go into a little detail on FireUI, especially the Live Preview functionality that came in Berlin.

The platform services makes the components and styles smart for each platform you are running on. This makes it easy to target everything from Android watches to the iPad and macOS with a single user interface that looks great everywhere. This level of productivity isn't seen with any of the platform vendor tools, even across their own platforms, let along across all the different platforms that FireMonkey supports.
You can design your UI once, and then give it the tweaks it needs for perfection on each platform.
LivePreview then lets you view the real user interface on the physical target devices. You can even interact with the controls and see what the styles look like.
