To me, Delphi has always been the best tool for desktop development.
And I've tried them all. Win32, MFC, Winforms, WPF, Qt, Gtk, WxWidgets, Fltk, Swing, JavaFX, Flutter, React, Angular, Svelte, Solid...
But desktop development is dead, unfortunately. And Delphi is too expensive. They should take a look at Jetbrains on how to successfully sell licenses to individuals...
- ThinkBeat 3y agoWell Borland knew who to sell licenses to individuals. Turbo Pascal and the rest of that line sold extremely well. That was true for Delphi as well in the beginning. Unfortunately, some giant idiotic enterprisy choices were made at a corporate level, setting off a sequence of disasters. A true tragedy in slow motion of decades.
