Where I live, piracy is casual. People get software for free, and they stopped using Delphi because of Embarcadero. When people don't even deign to pirate your software, something's off.
I think there are many who are still on Delphi 6 which is what I used when I was younger. It was simple, effective, tight. Then that Embarcadero thing came out.
- jetti 10y agoI just think their marketing sucks and their IDE is nowhere near Visual Studio but the price points are nearly the same. Sure you get the VCL and other proprietary things (such as their fireman firemonkey app platform which deploys to android and iOS) but the cross platform tooling for .NET has gotten much better that C# makes more sense for many LOB applications than Delphi does.
