IMO this actually bodes very well for Delphi and profitability.

2) Win32 software development is generally at the lower end of its life
cycle.

I don't agree with this at all. Win64 is the natural extension there as
well.

3) Chasing MS in the .NET space is a very risky investment.

I do agree with this. ;)

4) A fair portion of former Delphi developers has left Delphi in favor of
VS/C#.

It's tough to say how many have left. I think this is a problem, but
not one that is insurmountable.


You also forgot JBuilder, Interbase, etc. as part of the DevCo investment.
