WinForms is not 100% portable via Mono (last I checked). I wouldn't go that route either because Microsoft will be on your case when it suits them - and probably just when your product becomes successful. > But it isn't true that the new IDE is written in .NET, I didn't mean the whole IDE. Just parts: help system, editor, form designer, language tool in editor (like what CodeTools is). But that sure makes it about 70% of what an IDE is. > Failing to encourage this move will force most current Delphi coders to > use better supported development environments, most likely C#. Java seems way more lucrative to me... The Java eco-system is massive, and that also opens the doors to Android (which is also Java and the biggest mobile platform). But that's just me thinking out loud.
