I wrote the first version of Outlook Profiler in Delphi 6, then in Delphi 7. Wonderful introductory language for making products (although Perl was my first exposure). The VCL GUI library and IDE work so well together that things today are second rate. Strange that we've not improved this basic need.
Today, I write most things in C++ (or C# if I can).

- ido 9y agointeresting, thanks for the tip!
