2 years ago we had to make some CF app, we have done it with VS2005, and
now some of our dev are migrating from delphi to VS to have something
coherent than using delphi in one side and VS in the other side...

Exactly! My shop is the same way... Ive been fighting a losing battle to
keep my side of things in Delphi purely because Delphi doesnt work with CF
and VS does.

I think borland / codegear looked at this wrong way back when... they looked
at it as a small market so not a priority (although they dropped carrots in
front of us for years that it was right round the corner) but its costing
them user base as people move to other more well rounded solutions...
albeit inferior to delphi overall IMO.

At my shop... im pretty much the last hold out... fortunately my apps are
about 1/2 a million lines of mission critical code that they dont want to
take on yet, but my delphi days are numbered on the current course.
