I just read the marketing material for Delphi and I beg to differ. I thought Delphi was a curiosity last heard of in 1993. How wrong I was.

According to the tick boxes you can rapidly develop for any platform and deploy everything without waiting around. I have no idea why anyone would want to develop in anything else. If the client could not find a developer to take on the project they could be up and running pushing all the features by teatime.

On top of it, there's a Delphi-compatible, FOSS IDE and compiler to use instead:

It has an active community. I don't know how big it is, though.
