I love Delphi too but... We ar four Deplhi programmers in Argentine and we are moving fast to Java with Eclipse IDE. A lot of work is comming from the outside and there are not more Java programmers here. Few month's ago we consider to switch to C# and .Net but rethinking the all thing we decided Java . It's great it's portable it's stable in time. it's free.
