[DUG] What is the future for Delphi programmer?

[Jeremy North]

Pro upgrade is $519 (AUD) for Delphi 2010.

Just because something is "free" doesn't make it a good "investment".

The apple tools are way behind other IDE's for usability and functionality.

I suggest you download them and try them for yourself.

Oh, you'll need apple hardware as well to do that ;-)

I'm not a fan of OSX - it feels like I'm being forced to use a
computer with one arm tied behind my back and continually trying to
swat flies and work with the free arm...
