Therefore that so many people use .NET i haven't seen so many .NET apps. Somehow strange.
All important Software ist still native and will be native in the future, there is a market for delphi, they only need to pick it up.

I don't know what people(migrating from Delphi to other tools) are using to write Desktop apps. I have tried every thing I could get my hands on for windows and none come as close to Delphi in terms of productivity and ease of use. I like .NET but the UI is just too slow and .NET apps use too much memory.

I would love to see some good Database Desktop apps written using .NET.

Have you checked MS Office Small Business Accounting. The latest versions are written in .NET.

There are many solutions that are developed as custom made solutions for many clients around the world.

For example. There is a firm in NY called Future Filing. They have been provided with a custom solution by a company to which I am a consultant.... this solution is probably never going to be released as an end user product in the market.


The most surprising thing is that most corporates around the world prefer to use MS dev tools rather than CGs... Why?

prefer to use MS dev tools rather than CGs... Why?

Because of marketing, tv advertizements or because they don't know better?

Not marketing.

Practicality!

If a corporation adopts Delphi as their main tool then they will have to go hunting for developers with a search light! and then they probably will find one.

The one found will generally ask for such a high salary that at that salary the corporate can afford 2-3 competent developer in the .NET world!

At corporate level everywhere (probably except western Europe) only those tools are utilized which have got a large following of developers and thus it is easy to find developers for that tools.

Keep in mind that getting Delphi developers might be difficult in some places and easy in others. Actually I haven't had any problems recruiting them here in the NL.

Agreed, there may be a lot of developers in NL but here in India there are only a few handful... and they seem to ask for salaries at which we can easily hire 2 - 3 .NET developers.

So the future of IT in India is in the hands of Bill <lol>
