The mismanagement debate is almost a separate topic! There was massive pressure in the 2000's to convert to .NET and C# from corporate managers, auditors and customers, I never understood how this became such a force but In 2005 it was intense to the point of paranoia and a lot of my colleagues converted (Delphi 8 sealed the deal in most cases). Needless to say most are now very happy with C#. if I had stayed an employee and not gone independent at the time it would have happened to me. As of now I am very happy with my decision to stay with Pascal, Delphi XE2 compiles my legacy code fine even with Windows 10 and All new developments are in Lazarus giving me the ability to support Linux/BSD and ARM processors which more customers are coming to appreciate.
