I'm just shocked at how behind Delphi has become. FPC and Lazarus are so 
far ahead in language features, target platforms, IDE features - they 
have simply made Delphi obsolete. EMBT keeps buying other companies or 
products and adding more junk into Delphi - instead of fixing what is 
already there (basic IDE and language features). They should take a page 
out of Canonical's playbook - remember the Ubuntu One Hundred Papercuts 
initiative.

All FPC and Lazarus needs is better marketing for commercial entities. 
Also trying to include FPC and Lazarus as standard in the RPi Linux 
disto would also help kick-start its popularity.
