I heard all this stuff about the great potential of Borland Delphi, heard a few "meh" reviews when it came out on Linux, and then... Nothing! So where does it stand these days?

Borland seems to have been concentrating on Delphi.NET and C++BuilderX to the detriment of their other products. It might have a future, but Borland appears to be heading towards wxWindows rather than Qt for the underlying toolkit (C++BuilderX doesn't have a RAD GUI designer yet), so a new Kylix could be quite a rework. I suspect C++BuilderX will eventually become the replacement for Kylix. -- Chris Altmann
