That's about the size of it. Actually, to be fair, I've heard a lot of very reasonable people say some very nice things about Pascal/Delphi/Kylix. It's not just a language, but a whole library environment including GUI framework. For my taste, frankly, it's awful. Even ignoring the Pascal roots, it's a proprietary language developable only with proprietary tools and runable only under a proprietary runtime. Yikes. But the corporate/IS world tends not to care about such things. There, Kylix competes with VB and Java (and soon C#) and probably does quite well. If it comes down to a vote.
