C++ Builder is described as 'Modern, fast C++. Four platforms, backed by powerful UI and database frameworks. Enterprise, solo developer, mobile--this is for you. Accelerate your development: spend more time coding, less time on UI design, no time on platform-specific porting' and is a IDE in the development category. There are more than 10 alternatives to C++ Builder for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Linux, Mac, .NET Framework and Web-based apps. The best C++ Builder alternative is Microsoft Visual Studio. It's not free, so if you're looking for a free alternative, you could try Microsoft Visual Studio or Code::Blocks. Other great apps like C++ Builder are CodeLite, B4X, Orwell Dev-C++ and Microsoft Small Basic.

MS VS is not RAD, doesn't have visual components like Borland product, anyway cannot be compared to BCB or being called alternative. It is just something different and I'm not sure, but I'm convinced those alternatives should be free.
