Delphi is getting so horribly expensive (without noticeable benefit)
that the user base is going to shrink dramatically. Hopefully some wile
come over to fpc.
I would like to believe it but Embarcadero/Delphi announced the growth
of users/client base 2 or 3 years ago, aren't they?
Clearly, Delphi is more advanced in GUI development (not only for VCL
limited by Win32/64 but mostly for new cross-platform projects for
mobile devices) and have much more third-party GUI components vendors.
Opposite, I consider that the non-GUI cross-platform development in
FPC/Lazarus is similar do Delphi at least. Debugging is less robust but
the logging is the main approach to debug on server side.
The support of Linux is a considerable feature.
So I come to FPC on this side (with hundreds of thousands legacy Delphi
code...)
