Indeed, but somehow I don't see how people can be content with
lower performance, higher memory use, reduced *effective*
compatibility and having to think about optimization in situations
were it was previously a non-issue (ie. have to waste developement
time because of compiler deficiencies).

It's not like Delphi is the sole product that is .net capable
out there, or the sole compiler. AMOF, its main advantage is
nowadays its existing codebase: while Delphi was essentially static
on the visual design front, others evolved and catched up.
If getting the existing codebase up to usable level requires
the kind of changes enumerated here, a tool switch becomes a very
pragmatic solution: code readability and maintainability won't
suffer as much.
