Their target customers are enterprises, the ones that pay for their tools.

Embarcadero prices aren't much different from DB2, Oracle, Visual Studio Ultimate.

Most Delphi software I've seen was more a replacement for Clipper than IBM/Oracle-grade Fortune 500 stuff. One step above Access. Heck, it seems to have kept Firebird alive.

And in turn, you get a lot of job offers rewriting Delphi software in C#.

I do know a company doing life sciences robotic control software in Delphi.

Scheduling software and low level control for stuff like BioTek and PerkinElmer devices, for example.

In Germany you still get Delphi related conferences.
