Indeed. So well that it includes Turbo Delphi for .NET, and Turbo
C#.

Creating a supply of something doesn't create - nor necessarily even
indicate the existence of - any demand for it.

It's certainly a much better indicator (especially considering that
there's multiple tools/deployments for .NET from multiple vendors) than
someone saying it's "irrelevant" without providing any evidence of that
at all.

There is definatly a demand for .NET tools, take a look at this:

A couple of points that impressed me.

1) They had 6 million downloads in the first 8 months and a survey showed
that 61% were new to .NET.

2) "...dozens of market research summaries that basically showed the pro and
non-pro customers having different needs and showing that a sizeable portion
of these customers pricing behavior was closer to being perfectly elastic
(using made up numbers this would be something like charging as little as $5
for Express could cut Express adoption by half)."
