I dont think the Professional version of the delphi application is an unreasonable price.. I think that if you cannot be earning enough from using the tool.. then its the wrong language and tool anyway.. Lets imagine that Delphi was licensed in a rental type scenario.. say $100NZD per month GST inc.. For most people thats $88 a month.. Now.. if you are earning say $1000-$4000 gross per month as a delphi developer, which you cannot earn without the delphi tools.. is $88 or even $100 a month worth it? I would say that if you are even earning only a part time income of $400 per month.. $100 a month is not going to kill you if you know that you wont get the other $300 without it.
I personally (while not advocating it) would have no problem with paying $3.30 a day for delphi and getting all fixes and updates built in.. It would simply mean one less coffee a day purchased.. While I can disagree heavilty with some things Richard Says. :) I dont think we are being ripped off on the delphi pricing..
