If HELP system is only the reasons,

No.

Refactoring and other features also need .Net.

Cutting yourself off from a lot of functionality, present and future, just to avoid .Net is rather shortsighted. It will also become harder as time goes on.

For me personally .NET not offers anything more than Pascal (Delphi) can
offer, just the contrary - the development system is not stable and every
seriously application developed under .NET is veeeeeeery slow.

Actually .Net has proven itself quite stable so far. As far as slow, it's a fact the Winforms GUI is a bit slower but not "a lot". Whether other things are slow depend on what those things are and how you are doing it. .Net apps are *not* interpreted, the run compiled.

I will "love" .NET, for example, when I see Microsoft Office .NET release,
and it work without ugly exceptions one-two years.

This keeps coming up, the idea that, if it really were good, then MS would rewrite years worth of perfectly good working Win32 code in .Net just to prove it. That is a silly thing to demand - no company should rewrite an entire large application just because they can or to prove such a point. To prove Delphi/Pascal were good, should InterBase and every other product from CodeGear and Borland be rewritten from scratch in it?
