The breaking difference is the object model, including memory 
management, that makes Delphi (or C++) different from .NET, Java etc.

Furthermore .NET (or Java...) come with their own widgetset (and RTL), 
which are incompatible with the VCL. Look how badly VCL.Net failed, 
after years of development - a .NET widgetset for Lazarus would fail for 
the same reasons.


BTW I gave up my second try with .NET, after I couldn't find an 
equivalent for ShowMessage after searching for several hours. This shows 
that a language (syntax) is the least important part of a development 
system.
