I wonder what's the motivation behind this fork. Embarcadero is the company currently maintaining and selling Delphi dev tools. They also have their own commercial C++ IDE. Is it treated as demo App for their own toolchain.

One reason is that it made a great case study for modernizing an app from Delphi 7 to the latest version.

> Embarcadero Dev-C++ has a low memory footprint because it is a native Windows application and does not use Electron.

Seems like they're using it as a VS Code offering/counter.
