| Delphi 2010 is focused primarily on enhancing developer productivity!
Unfortunately
a footnote points out that even if they manage to increase the IDE
productivity figure to the desired 90%, ultimately it won't greatly
affect overall developer productivity, as they found that only around
10% of a typical workday was actually spent developing, with the
remaining time split between browsing programming blogs, configurating
internet radio stations and chatting with co-workers.
The
details of the new release are still a bit sketchy. What follows are
notes and screenshots that I extracted from an internal CodeGear
presentation.
Index
Central to the IDE is the new Index which incorporates auto-expanding panels for:
- Project Index: Clicking a unit takes you to the Unit Index
- Unit Index: Shows you the interface of the unit at glance and allows you to drill down to individual classes and procedures
- Project Search Filter: Filters as you search by procedure, variable, description/comment, content, etc
This is the top level index for a unit:  These are the procedures of a unit: (Note how all items can now have an associated comment/description that is displayed when hovering over an item)  All
data is displayed in sortable grids that support in situ editing of
items and display further detail in a bubble hint as you hover the
cursor. Displaying the variables of a unit: (Note that changing the visibility of a variable is a quick two-click affair)  The
best part is the filter/search, that instantly displays all relevant
items as you type. Note how much control is available over what is
searched: 
When you click on a procedure to bring up the method editor all the search terms are highlighted.
Method Editor
Code
editing is the most radical change in Delphi 2010. As mentioned, flat
file editing is gone, each procedure is treated as a separate entity,
i.e. you no longer edit units directly, only the procedures within
units. You can open as many "Method Editor" windows as you require
(single-clicks open the item in the current/main Method Editor,
shift-clicks into a new Method Editor).
The new "Method Editor":
Note the navigation buttons that allow you to move to the previous/next procedure of the current unit or search.
Also,
new variables are automatically added as you type them into the source
(marked in bold). You can even set an initial value for them.
Creating and editing Properties is much simpler with all details available in the one window:
If you right-click a component on your form and select "Edit Events" the code for all events can be viewed and edited at once.  Important
Note: Delphi 2010 will continue to save your code and form files to
plain text PAS and DFM files, however it also was save a new CDB file
which stores all full text searching and other database information.
The CDB file is optional and can be recreated as required. Also, any Luddites out there need not fear, flat file editing will still available as an option. Other Touted Features - Debugging within Virtual Machines: Delphi will integrate with popular VM software to allow you to debug under any version of Windows without leaving the IDE - Voice Recognition:
Delphi will be the first product to natively support programming using
voice recognition. The limited vocabulary of programming languages have
shown it to be an ideal candidate for voice recognition - Integrated Spell Checking:
Misspelt words in strings in the code and designer (e.g.
TLabel.Caption) will be underlined. Common misspellings of identifiers
will be automatically corrected. Also all string values in units and
forms of a project can be spell checked with a single click - Integrated Timing/Profiling:
Without any coding required, profile reports will allow you to easily
determine which procedures in your code are taking the longest - Dual Screen Optimization: Delphi 2010 will be the first version which will be designed primarily for multiple screen and ultra-large screen systems - Edit and Go: Change code while debugging and the effect will take place immediately without needing to recompile - New Variable Directive;
"Auto": Allows you to use objects in a procedure without needing to
create or free them. For example declaring the local variable: MySL:
TStringList; Auto; will automatically create a TStringList at the start
of the procedure and free it when it goes out of scope. Similarly a
ShowHourglass call at the start of a procedure will automatically
display an hourglass that reverts to its former value when the
procedure ends - Automatic Template Creation:
Delphi will recognize code snippets that you frequently type (ignoring
any changed variables, classes, etc) and offer them as templates - Intelligent Paste:
Paste text onto the designer and it becomes a label or memo. Paste a
graphic and it becomes a TImage. Paste a set of components into the
code editor and the component names are output in a column. Paste a
procedure declaration into source and it is reformatted as a procedural
call - Recent Items: Delphi will remember the
names of any procedures, classes or variables that you have created or
edited recently and allow you to insert them into your code with two
clicks (A shortcut to pop up a dialog and a number to choose a recent
item) - Tip of the Day: A standard TOTD dialog will be included offering productivity enhancing hints, efficient coding advice and scone recipes - Studio and Turbo:
Delphi 2010 will come in two versions, a fully-featured "Studio" and a
cheaper "Turbo" release. The Turbo version will include two components
(TForm and TButton) and a single method (A MessageDlg function
hardcoded with the string 'Hello World') - Animated Character:
A cute, animated feculent character nicknamed "Krappie" will popup to
offer guidance whenever you perform a task in a manner that is
inefficient, unimaginative or lacks je ne sais quoi- Quality:
In an effort to reduce the quality problems that have affected recent
releases the entire CodeGear QC team will be fitted with electrified
collars. Whenever an IDE crashes a [generally] non-fatal electrical
shock will be routed to an appropriate team member. That's
as much as I have for you at the moment. Let me know if you have any
questions, as I now have someone on the inside (A little leverage goes
a long way, in other words, stay away from those Delphi groupies at the
CodeGear conferences, or you might have more to worry about than
injuries to sensitive areas from dental retainers). It is imperative
that his identity is not leaked, so I'll only be referring to him as
