I could never really see the point of Delphi .NET
to start with. If you're serious about .NET development the crossover from
Pascal to C# is not that great and IMO C# is the de facto .NET language. I can't
see that you would ever want to just recompile existing Delphi code into
Delphi.NET either.
"Classic" Delphi was great, is great and will
be great in the future. Maybe not as popular as in the late 90's but still
popular. When you want to write that stand-alone Windows app with minimum
install hassles, nothing really beats Delphi.
One of the gaps for Borland IMO is to create
a killer C# IDE. A bit like IntelliJ did for Java. Anyone that has worked
with IntelliJ and then has to work with VS.NET will know exactly what I'm
talking about. This might just mean spending a good deal of money and resource
to get C# builder up there. I am not a fan of
VS.NET... but have to use it. I think a lot of developers will switch away
from VS.NET if a better tool comes along.

I see them shifting to the LifeCycle support
stuff.
Yes they will keep up Java and C# - but I see
Delphi disappearing...
I also expect IB to start going the same way (in
a year or so...)
NB this is just my opinion...

You will be in for a large surprise
then.
What are Borland shifting their focus to
instead?
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...
