Overall Satisfaction with Delphi
We use it to develop business software. I have used Delphi since version 1.0 and wrote thousands of lines of code. Our software is used by hundreds of companies. Delphi RAD philosophy helps to create Windows database-oriented software easily and fast. Binaries generated by Delphi run on a variety of versions of Windows, from XP to 11. Also, you can build software for other platforms, such as Android, iPhone, and macOS, but we have only developed for Android.
- Build GUI Windows applications
- Connecting to a variety of databases
- Multi platform
- IDE, currently is a 32 bits app
- Price, it's an expensive tool
- Firemonkey library lacks variety of VCL
- Source code compatibility with older versions
- We use it since v1, so we are experts in the language
- Look and feel with latest Windows versions
- No runtimes needed, you can build a monolith exe for Windows and all is in it
- 90% of our software is developed in Delphi
- Some applications are older than 15 years and still in use
- When we choose Delphi in the late 90's for our code base, it was a good decision
