That maybe so, but its tools like gcc (especially gcc) that make people use
Delphi and Kylix in the first place. It may cost you $6K for the enterprise
verison of the Delphi 6, but how long _extra_ (at, for eg, $80/hr) would it
take to write an app in gcc? Hell, how much extra time would it take to
_compile_ something with gcc, which is pretty much the world slowest
compiler (unless they have improved it out of sight in gcc 3.x).
