Ah delphi, earned some of my first money as a student doing two awesome projects in Delphi that worked for the next 10 years... I still haven’t found anything with such a good interface builder (Xcode comes close, but it’s still worse imho)

The C# WinForms UI builder is a nice ripoff of the Delphi UI builder.

  Its not really a ripoff as C# and Delphi is designed by the same person.

  ahh not really. VB and powerbuilder UI builders predate Delphi and Csharp.

    Yes, that is why when Delphi 1 (or 2?) was announced, it was billed as the VB killer. That never happened, I guess, though it did become somewhat successful. I used both VB and Delphi some, in work and personal projects. Preferred Delphi by far.

      Oh I definately agree, Delphi was a better dev tool compared to VB at the time. No runtime needed to be shipped, standalone fully compiled executable alone was the killer feature.
