I have couple of my own Windows based products that bring some money. Even though those are about 10 years old I keep them up to date with all new technologies that make sense and port to every new version of Delphi. This is actually very easy and does not require much time. There is also more than enough libraries and components to do just about anything. FFS I do interrupt based device control with the rate of 256 requests / s over USB. Still for servers / NO GUI I very much prefer C++.
