C is too easy to target (and I say is a HUGE part of the problem).
However, if you pick .NET vs Delphi you will see is easier to develop UI apps (and general apps) in Delphi than .NET.
Even today.
The exception is web apps, and web apps is another big problem that "normalize" bad architecture, bad language and bad ways to solve everything.
