I have been using FR since the beginning, Alexander has always been
excellent on support. I gave RB a try last year, just to see... but it
couldn't match FR for speed.
With regards flexibility and ease of use, both FR and RB are very similar,
not surprising when Alexander took the best features from QuickReport and
Report Builder then made improvements!
The FAQ nowadays answers a lot of questions which were a mystery in the
past.
There were a few problems with IBO initially but I sent Alexander the fixes
and the latest release works fine now.
Regardless of the cost, FR is the best Report tool for Delphi.
99USD complete with End User Report Tool, cheap at half the price.
In the past I always found Reports a pain, something which had to be done
but perhaps tomorrow, now although I still don't enjoy doing them at least
they aren't so bad that I put them off for another day.

Hi,
Besides the cost and that FR supports native IB, which of the two is more
flexible and easier to use. I need to gain some collective knowledge(from
the community) before I make a decision to purchase.
Many thanks,
Dion
