Rave or Report Builder?

[Patrick]

We have used ReportBuilder successfully with D5, and its 3rd party library
TExtraDevices for PDF/Excel. We have never used Rave report writer. Our
new projects will use Delphi 2006. I realize this is a 'depends' question,
but which report writer is better - Rave or ReportBuilder?

Are there ex ReportBuilder users that have moved to Rave?

TIA--patrick

Let's test both (and FastReport too ;) ).

Patrick,

I think it's heavy to get a good answer of this question; who knows many
report engine ?! I think everyone have made sometimes
a decision and then he've got the experience (to make the decision) only for
one or maximal two report engines.

I work with Rave, but in this newsgroup a lot of people works with Rave, in
other newsgroup (areas) they work with other report engines....
And: I've made all my reports with Rave without problems but: I admit the
learning curve is high (I've made in the last 8 years I think
more then 50 trainings in european and know the developer and the
first-start-problems).
