Great article, but why the Delphi hate? I use Delphi 7 daily at my current job, and I actually quite like it.

How much must you like Delphi for you to see hatred where there is none?

The interface is outdated, the language is just another fact. Would you assume someone is hating on C in a sentence such as "This is an outdated program written in C."?

The assumption you make leads me to believe that you don't like Delphi as much as you claim, and yourself recognize that the language itself is outdated as well.

Which, as a daily Delphi 7 user, is something I'm sure you have come to realize a long time ago. :)
