From the article: Third Party Delphi Components I Am Using
Even though Delphi comes (depending on the version) with some 200+ various components designed to help you do this or that task ... there are situations when you need a special component to do some special job.
I guess every Delphi developer has at least one "extra" component on the Component Palette.
High quality libs
- CnPack for extending Delphi IDE JEDI (JCL/JVCL) AnyDAC Envision Image Library OmniThreadLibrary DevExpress - a bit over-engineered (IMHO) Berg NextGrid Also looking forward to start using DORM as is becomes more mature.

ProDelphi
- ProDelphi gives very detailed in formation about speed of execution, function call chains, etc. Gives powerful insight in the way my applications run.

Must Have VCLs
- The must have ones are: 1. RemObjects (Hydra, RO, DA) 2. DevExpress (Amazing, Moderate support) 3. TMSSoftware (selection) 4. PAXCompiler (depends on you app req.) 5. SmartInspect (Perfect) Great Ones: 1. siTranslate 2. Active Query Builder 3. eControl (Editor, Designer) and there are alot of useful other VCLs but not as important as the mentioned ones.
