We'll have to disagree on that one. I'm sure some people buy BDS primarily

buy it primarily for Delphi.win32 still vastly outnumber the other groups.

Funny how we can disagree, but yet I agree with everything you've just
said about the matter. ;)

I think the distinction is that I see this as a dynamic thing and
something that would indeed change if DevCo really pushed C# and made it
better than what VS.NET has to offer.

If DevCo wants to go after the larger market, they'll do
something more in line with CBX.

I somehow doubt that the DevCo's initial strategy will be "Let's do for
Delphi what CBX did for BCB." At least not in terms of dropping the VCL.

That's not what I'm advocating at all for Delphi's future. I was
speaking strictly about C++.

We can let it rest here. :-)

Whew!
