I still use Borland C++ Builder, Delphi's little brother, on a daily basis. Both Delphi and C++Builder are powered by VCL under the hood. VCL = Visual Components Library, a very orthogonal application+userinteface kit. Microsoft has tried to imitate it with .Net, both foundations feel the same. But the VCL is less bloated.
