Smartest thing he ever did. Borland never had R&D or marketing muscle to keep up with everyone else (Microsoft). Their C and C++ compilers were always buggy (sometimes adding an empty line would stop a compiler from crashing), their profilers never worked, their C++ IDE used modal dialogs to display progress of compilation... Delphi was the only reasonably well-built piece of software they did, and it was still beaten by VB commercially.
