I totally agree that every Delphi-upgrade isn't worth it. I currently use Delphi 5 and it works perfect. My next Delphi-version requires me to put up about 6000 USD in component upgrades since some of them aren't free. Being a one-man shop there is no way I will do that without I find a good reason. And since I know that next upgrade after that probably also will cost about 6000 USD I don't find it a happy thought.
In the last few Delphi-polls I have wanted an IDE that can work against different VCL-versions. That way I could take benefit of the updates of the IDE but using an older compiler. Of course I can't use the latest features but that's not a problem for me. So far I haven't heard of anything like it and so far I decide to stay with Delphi 5. Next year I have used Delphi for 10 years and it really aches that I am seriously considering other alternatives. But I guess that the people at Borland take their polls seriously and that they have figured out who their market is. I highly doubt that they consider small one-man shops their market anymore. From the time they briefly changed name to Inprise they probably decided to focus on the bigger enterprise market.
