Hi, I was reviewing some old code that used TCollection & TCollectionItem descendants. This made me think... With the introduction of Generics, is there really still a need for TCollection/TCollectionItem?
I have tons of code that uses them. Lazarus has tons of code that uses them. There is no way that we're going to rewrite all that stuff. So: yes, even if only for backwards compatibility. Nothing stops people from not using it, and use generics instead, if they are so inclined.
