Roughly. I'd say
- they don't want C# because they are scared of C syntax.
- they don't like Delphi.NET because it is less Delphi.NET due to its win32
compat.
Afaik a very small group. Everybody seems to experiment with chrome, but I
hear only few people that actually use it. (and that means that uptake is
really low, since even Delphi.NET is that popular, a lot of .NETties
directly move to MS VS tools)

Afaik, no. Chrome is not frpm Borland.

I know none that use it for production use. All people that use Delphi.NET
seem to play with it, but I can't remember definite crossovers.
