For those out there who still doubt the power and popularity of Delphi, take a look at the Delphi product showcase: http://www.embarcadero.com/rad-in-action/application-showcase

Delphi is a great RAD tool! .NET and its 70 Mb runtime DLL is not the best choice to deliver a software to a company.
I hate applications with runtime packages! Runtime packages can be updated at any time by Microsoft Windows during auto update process and you can not seriously tell that it’s not a problem!

@Bryce K. Nielsen @Bryce Agree. Of all the environments I've had the pleasure to develop real world applications in (there are quite a few) Delphi has had the best time-to-customer ratio for me. Of course, it has its issues but then again so does all of them.

As a student I used Delphi student edition and I loved it. When I graduated I asked Borland if I could upgrade to the professional (they had no other intermediate edition at that time) and they said no. Microsoft said I qualified for Visual Studio Standard so there you go. Love both products but I don’t use Delphi anymore.

@Hans-Eric Grönlund
Jealous! I wish I was back in Delphi! All of my clients are using C#, so I pretty much have to go with the flow. I was tempted though the other day to upgrade to D2009 for various side projects. I wrote all the SysOnyx tools in Delphi (http://www.sysonyx.com) and starting to wonder if I should just upgrade everything about them.

IMHO, Delphi is the *best* language for writing Windows GUI apps, hands down. C# and the Visual Studio IDE are nice, especially for non-visual code and interoperability, but a good WinForms app you cannot find in .Net…
