I think it's fairly safe to assume that Borland developers are not worrying about it at all. Embarcadero's developers might be. ;-) http://www.embarcadero.com/news/press_releases/acquisition_codegear.html

We have most of our bankign application written in Delphi. It is no doubt VS C# is great but has disadvantage too in slowness. We developed the same application in C# not web based though win32 based exact replica of delphi based applciation. But was distasfied with the performance of C# . It is very slow as compared to delphi applicaton. there is no doubt VS is good in web based , But recent version of delphi unstabilty is really a major concern. I not sure if Borland developers are really worrying about it. I think borland are not even concern of the errors. My company was planign to buy 2007. But cancelled it due to lot of complains from it. i Still feel delphi is best tool and looking forward to work on it for long.

Still very much Windows based, quite heavily graphics oriented, with DCOM, etc thrown in for good measure currently. I don't see why there should be particular issues with 3rd party support. It's always made sense to acquire source for any 3rd party libraries one uses anyway. Cheers, Conor ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gary T. Benner Just got this in the Firebird Yahoo Groups List. When I get a "snap" ( as in the card game ) I start to wonder. What are the issues people are finding now? ( see some below ) Are people writing in other languages for new projects, and using delphi in just maintenance? Are people ( like me ) writing apps in the Web platform now as opposed to the Windows PC platform? kr gary Firebird List message: I was wondering if anyone knows what percentage of applications thatuse Firebird are written in Delphi?I ask because I think Delphi's general usage is already shrinking andI feel like it is only going to continue to do so. If Delphi doescontinue to shrink I was wondering what effect that will have onFirebird's growth.I work on a large system with millions of lines of Delphi code so weneed to consider where things will be in 3 to 5 years from now whichis why I am interested. We already are having a lot of problemsgetting support for some Delphi code we have purchased from 3rd parties.
