Anyone thinking of switching from Delphi just to get to .NET might want to read this blog: http://randymagruder.blogspot.com/ Look at the section "Why the developer elites are wrong...". Other entries are interesting too, but this one is particularly relevant to the "Delphi vs. .NET" question. Also, Evans Data Corporation has recently released the results of their "Developers Choice-IDE Studies"; a comparative survey of the major development IDEs. Out of 11 major devlopment IDEs or environments they inquired about, Delphi won or placed in several categories, including: * Compiler / Interpreter (1st Place) * Debugger (1st Place) * Editor (3rd Place) * Make/Build Function (2nd Place) * Compiler Performance (1st Place) * Performance of Resulting Applications (1st Place) * Ease of use (1st Place) * Ability to Integrate Third Party Tools (3rd Place) * Availability of Third Party Tools (2nd Place) You can get a free "Score Card" synopsis of the results and order the full version for $79.95 (hmmm) here: http://evansdata.com/devchoice_ide_scorecard.php?s=edc I actually got a free copy because I participated in the survey. I'll forward it to anyone who's REALLY interested, especially if you think it might influence someone's opinions about using Delphi.
