I'm not sure this is much more of an issue now than it was. Back in the day we had to decide between Delphi, VB, Powerbuilder, C++ among others when building a Windows app. And once we decided that we had to work out which third party libraries we wanted to use with them.
If I take an old 15 year old Delphi app I have it would take me the best part of a week to get it compiling again now if I had to build the dev machine from scratch.
