I've been using Delphi for 7 years, from Delphi 1 (and I've been using
Borland Pascal before,) and I use to think that Delphi was the best.
However, about three years ago, I was sensing that the market goes in
another direction, and not for once Borland was playing games with its
developer base (remember Inprise episod? Borland C++ which iritated
Microsoft? JBuilder which was eclipsed by... Eclipse? C#Builder?
Delphi.Net? what about Sidekick?!? Kylix? - I still think that Borland
was good only at Delphi for Windows, while its market strategy sucks!)
So, three years ago I've reoriented myself to .Net.
.Net 1.1 was a mess, but worked. These days I'm on .Net 2.0 and is
preaty good, maybe as good as Delphi 5!
I've done some research in Avalon, and - believe me, what is comming
will change everything for everybody! (Avalon will unify the
development for OS with development for Web.)
In the end a developer has to do what a developer has to do: go with
the market, and I agree, Delphi is no more on the market, and what's
left of it, will go out soon. 8^( What do you figure yourself working
with five years from now? ...
