And compile times were pretty fast too

I really want to see Delphi compile times on a modern i7 and a fast SSD. For small-ish projects that should be pretty much instantaneously.

Just about sums up why I still use it if I want to get something done.

That is correct. My "apps" are really just small utilities, and the compile times are about 1s or a little less on my older i7 with spinning rust.

It's instantaneous for large projects. Literally I've compiled fairly large Delphi projects in the time it takes a Python interpreter to start.
