I doubt we would agree on who is in the minority or majority. Once thing that cant be argued though is that we are all in the minority for using Delphi still. As such Delphi should stick to its strengths cause I doubt they have the ability to overtake some other languages and become the next best thing again.

That is a poor analogy. Adding (enter mobile phone architecture of choice here) functionality could be beneficial to many companies. Perhaps not for your product, but certainly for some of the many products I work on. > I pay a lot for Delphi, I wish time and again they would stop adding > features that brings value to a minority. How do you know the features are being added for the minority. Perhaps you are in the minority by not wanting the feature? _______________________________________________ NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi mailing list Post: delphi@delphi.org.nz Admin: http://delphi.org.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi Unsubscribe: send an email to delphi-requ...@delphi.org.nz with Subject: unsubscribe _______________________________________________ NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi mailing list Post: delphi@delphi.org.nz Admin: http://delphi.org.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi Unsubscribe: send an email to delphi-requ...@delphi.org.nz with Subject: unsubscribe
