I suppose you are right Phil, there's no point in saying stuff here on it.
If that is actually true then thinking out side Delphi will be th last resort where many are headed.
Yet strangely I might yet get D2006, especially if someone in Borland bother to put me back on the mail out list!
I feel the same about .net as others are saying . . I keep developing in Delphi wondering where it is heading . . . and wondering about some kind of PHP with a really decent cross platform widget set for desktop apps.
Like a supped up Prado (based in part on Delphi thinking any way)
PRADO is a component-based and event-driven framework for rapid Web programming in PHP 5. PRADO reconceptualizes Web application development in terms of components, events and properties instead of procedures, URLs and query parameters.
A PRADO component is a combination of a specification file (in XML), an HTML template and a PHP class. PRADO components are combined together to form larger components or complete PRADO pages.
Developing PRADO Web applications mainly involves instantiating prebuilt and application-specific component types, configuring them by setting their properties, responding to their events by writing handler functions, and composing them into application tasks.

D2006 is much nicer as an IDE. What I DONT do is spend money on all
the little AML tools that Borland thinks we should be using. Why? because
open source stuff does all I need in that direction. Where would Delphi
be if Borland had invested in the tools and language instead of all this
other crap. No.. must not get started on this..doesnt do any good and no

D2006 is actually getting me writing more stuff in Delphi but I am certainly
watching what happens else where. The pain of it is that I have to use
C or Fortran for MPI cluster stuff. Java is slowly getting there but still has
some major performance hurdles that I cant accept. Where it will end, I dont
know. I'm not moving to .net and still really looking for a substitute for C++
which is what I use Delphi for. One that compile with MPI binding on linux
would be nice too.
