To me it makes absolutely no sense to force the programmers to use 
different paradigms for different platforms. A decent programming system 
should hide this diorty stuff from the application programmer. Only who 
wants to dig deeper (for performance or to implement really platform 
specific stuff) should be forced (and able to) get there.

Win32 is dead anyway. (IMHO soon the main platforms to be supported will 
be LINUX in ARM 64 and Android. No notion of either with Embarcadero.)
