Give in on Delphi?
Declaration of Delphi Dependence is an interesting read, I make my living with Borland tools. Delphi and Star Team mainly (I love Star Team).
I see the problem not with Borland but with the development tools market. The tools I have now (Delphi 6/7) are just great. I have no list of features I would like to see. There is nothing I cannot do.
Sure .Net will be the way forward but I am in no rush. I'll make the jump when it makes economic sense. When it does I hope a Borland tool will be there for me. In the mean time I hope someone is pushing the envelope forward to make better tools.
