Sure, it still is a thing.

Is it good? Well.. the old VCL stuff is pretty good, very stable, can do pretty much all you want. But that's Windows only.
The multi device framework (FMX aka firemonkey) is getting better, but does sometimes still lack in how mature it is.
Normally however you can work around any issue you bump into.
So is it perfect? No, but I'm not aware of a tool that is perfect when you need cross platform development tools.
As far as cost goes (the main complaint I tend to see), it's not very cheap on initial purchase. But with the subscription you basically have a cost of about $500/year for the professional version.
Not insurmountable if you consider that they actively work on improving the language and support.
