They never really made the jump to Windows did they?
I know they had Windows IDEs but lets be honest, just like Wordstar, Lotus 123 and a bunch of others they were way too slow to move to Windows in the industry shake up that was Windows 95.
- mikewarot 5y agoDelphi was by far the most productive programming environment available for Windows, right up until the bean counters took over, and they started raising the prices out of the reach of casual developers. You can do things in Lazarus (the open source IDE based on Free Pascal) in minutes that take far, far too long to fiddle with in Python/WxBuilder, for example. I wasted weeks of time trying to use a "more modern" platform.
- johannes1234321 5y agoDelphi was a leading develment tool for Windows in that era.
- CRConrad 5y agoNope, you've got it totally wrong. From the introduction of Delphi 1 for Windows 3.x in 1995, they were huge on Windows.
