Is ironic, but in one of the oldest forums of Delphi (where I'm moderator) some of us have left the language long ago (or more exactly, use it sparly), yet still are there!
And this one was our discussion (spanish)

So the thing is Delphi improve a lot, yet is mismanaged, cost too much, the only way to get bugs fixed is buy next version and each few months yet another company buy it.
The thing is so crazy that some people are considering seriously do a buy from the community (ie: Pay money to buy the product)...
- wila 10y agoEvery half year there is a new version and then you get new bugs.. for which you have to buy the next version to get it fixed.
