Captain,

Mark and Richard Morris from DevEx have indicated on more than one
occasion that they have not ruled out returning to Delphi, but that for
the moment it is a question of directing their, not unlimited resources
towards the most profitable target, namely VS.NET.

Maybe they won't, but based on what they have said to date, you *have*
no basis to predict that they won't and you *will* have no basis to say
"I told you so".
