TDM Rerun #6: GExperts 1.0

The greatest (in my view), and one of the oldest of the Delphi IDE expert suites is GExperts. It was created by Gerals Nunn (in 1997, if I am not mistaken), who also developed it for almost two years. Gerald has moved to other projects, but he kindly donated the GExperts source code to the online community.

- GExperts 1.0, The Delphi Magazine 72, August 2001

I still stand by those words. GExperts is a great suite of experts and I still use it every day. I also wrote few experts that are included in the GExperts pack and few that are included only in my private build.

I use gexperts daily also. But I'm missing one feature badly from the Delphi 7 days:
From the README.TXT:
The following features are not supported under Delphi 8/2005/2006/2007:
UNICODE format text files, inner classes, class helpers, and generics in
the Class Browser, and some of the old editor tab enhancements, such as
multiline editor tabs.

multiline editor tabs are unfortunately impossible with the new Delphi IDEs. The control CodeGear uses there does not have a MultiLine property, so in order to implement them, it must be replaced with one that does and that's a very difficult task. I should know, I tried it. Of course, if anybody finds a way to do it anyway, feel free to donate the code.
