I think the main reason most of us use Delphi is that it is so far ahead of anything else out there in the Win32 world, for ease of use, speed, programming efficiency and whole host of other things. The .NET framework has come along and has caught up with and in some cases much improved over what Delphi offers ( Garbage collection for one ), so in my opinion when talking .NET there is no real reason/advantage that Delphi has over C# or VB.

 

What Borland need to do is find a niche like they did with the original Delphi. Again in my opinion if they could have a Delphi like platform that was to a certain degree OS agnostic then they would have something.

My take on it:

Delphi for .Net is that is on its way out - Borland is moving its focus away from Delphi - there is still money to be made ... so D9 and I suspect there may even one after that, but just tedding water with it - no significant advances/improvements...

 

Just my opinion...
