I understood D2005 was better than D8. D8 traumatised people.

If you are a Win32 App developer, then from what I have seen, D2006 is
worth the move.

Slow uptake is probably related to Delphi 8 offering Win32 Developers
nothing other than possibilities,  and D2005 being a retrograde step
(memory & CPU hungry, slow and less stable - even after 3 rounds of
patches).
