After Borland, other companies continued working with Delphi, namely, Embarcadero
You mean after Borland destroyed themselves with a over-the-top business strategy Embarcadero could swoop in and buy several Borland assets and trademarks (Delphi, C++ Builder, Interbase) rather cheaply.
Most of the people I knew who worked with Delphi moved on to .NET and Visual Studio. Main reason being that working with Windows Forms or WPF and the .NET BCL in combination with C# is pretty similar to working with the VCL and Object Pascal. Common factor being Anders Hejlsberg [0]; one of the biggest drivers behind both the Delphi and .NET ecosystem.
