Well I believe mentioned that at least once or twice myself as have
others. First, I believe Delphi 7 is still the best IDE they ever created,
despite the fact that it took a couple patches to make it so! Now that
D2005 if running fairly well it too I can live with and I will continue
using it for all Win32 work. I haven't used it myself, but I understand
it's C# personality is quite good too. But the idea of a VCL for .NET,
especially when it requires a non-standard implementation worries me. It
may be that means little more than the original VCL meant to many Win32
developers, but I must withhold final judgment until I see how that all
plays out.
As for upgrading, Delphi would have to become what it once was, and
I doubt that is going to happen. What I mean is that you must be able to
buy a Pro version that isn't overloaded with Enterprise
features...especially when they could do so much better adding some of the
better high-end features of their more expensive versions first. They would
be much more appreciated than things like ECO and Together! Also they would
have to up their Delphi IDE with new language and editor features that make
sense rather than the kinds of things they mentioned for D2006! Having
looked at each of these as carefully as possible I haven't found one that is
worth a dollar let alone 600!

There have been quite a few rather negative posts of people
who do longer consider Delphi upgrades worth the price.
Out of pure curiosity, does that mean that older Delphi versions
are already offering all you will ever need or that Borland is
no longer adding the features you want or any other reasons ?
(economy, platforms, other ... ?)
I wonder if there is anything Borland could do that, when
executed perfectly of course, would thrill enough to make you
reconsider upgrading Delphi ?
