On the other hand, maybe with a Delphi IDE on the Mac, you'd eventually
get some pretty nifty and useful business software.


If I were to develop on the Mac I would just take the jump and use the native tools for it. I see no point in being and oddball and insist on using Delphi or Pascal when that's not what everyone else does. Same goes for developing for .Net on Windows, I'd use Visual Studio in a heartbeat.

Oddball?!? hehe I like that. I agree. When you go to another platform, just take the jump and use something that's common, uptodate and works. No point in continously posting to non-technical asking (praying, begging) for Delphi for OS X or Linux. God, not a day goes by without someone asking for Kylix to be renewed. Delphi for OS X. Just stop it! arrrggghh!!! :) It ain't gonna happen. Nothing to see here. Move along.

For OS X, I'd just say go with XCode and Objective-C. Like almost everyone else. If you're doing web work, there's PHP, Ruby and more.
