Hmmm. I'm inclined to agree with this.
Having spent a lot of time lately compiling and installing open source 
engineering applications on Linux, and hating C++ for every minute of it 
(don't even get me started on Python), I can't help but think 
Embarcadero could exploit a huge opportunity by offering an open-source 
cross-platform compiler while focusing their commercial efforts on a 
(drag and drop component) plugin for Eclipse and VCL extensions.

Just my 2c.
