"Love/Hate relationship with Delphi"
What do you like best about Delphi?

It's provided such a great upgrade path from Turbo Pascal to Turbo Vision to Turba Pascal for Windows to Delphi 16 bit to Delphi 32bit to Delphi 64 bit. There was quite a bit of code reuse throughout.

In particular, going to 16 to 64 bit, and from Ansi to Unicode were incredibly easy, so it's enabled an old code base to get continual new leases of life.

I've been using it for many years, and it's the most productive language and development environment I use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Delphi?

The price. As a part time programmer, much of my work for non-profits, it's just too expensive to stay on the Delphi train. It may be different for a full time programmer, but the economics don't work for me.

So I still use Delphi all the time, but I don't upgrade it any more, I'm stuck on XE3. And I probably wouldn't use it to start any new major project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy app development"
What do you like best about Delphi?

You can make applications for Windows, Mac OS X, iOS and Android utilizing one improvement environment. It's so quick to make applications , you can make your application from prepared blocks of code called parts, for instance drawing alters, marks, catches on windows, increasingly complex ones. Modify your application with a single tick and send to new stage, perhaps it will require some stage subordinate code. You have a ton of parts for instance for working with FTP, Databases, and so forth. You can even have segments that can work with 3D models on your windows Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Delphi?

Here and there parts are restricted and extending it's not all that simple errand and the configuration could be possibly somewhat more easy to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"""Answer for fast and essential application enhancement """
What do you like best about Delphi?

The versatility of making application. Delphi XE8 administrator licenses to make application in less time with extraordinary application execution. It is an unreasonable number of controls that can help to you make most dominant application like offering theme to any application is such straightforward task with XE8. I solidly recommend making little application in less time. Simple to make graphical application, if you picked right control. You can make cross application developmentVery effective Wysiwyg RAD IDE gadget for windows. Present day OO vernacular with explicitly factors. Simple to appreciate and use can make a better than average applications in short time despite for a few phases : Windows, macOS, iOS, Android. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Delphi?

There are genuine upgrades two times each year, and each time one needs to uninstall everything Delphi related and reinstall everything. This incorporates multi day or two of work every six months.Very less and low simple to utilize documentation is being given to fashioner. It uses simply single CPU that make long running administrator undertaking much dull. Some module settings are stopping you to start work. One have to keep things under control for 5-10 minutes. You should at times save application, you don't have the foggiest idea when it gets crushed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The adaptability of making application. Delphi XE8 manager permits to make application in less time with great application execution. It is an excessive number of controls that can help to you make most powerful application like giving topic to any application is such simple assignment with XE8.

"Delphi XE8"
What do you like best about Delphi?

The flexibility of making application. Delphi XE8 editor allows to make application in very less time with very good application performance. It is too many controls that can help to you create most robust application like providing theme to any application is such easy task with XE8. I strongly recommend making small application in very less time. Very easy to make graphical application, if you chose right control. You can make cross application development. Your can make very Less coupled applicaiton by using XE8. It is little bit less user intuitive but once you will start using it you will start loving. by using fire monkey control you can make very strong application. Embercardero also provides same editor for c++, and mote interest things that I have also heard is that you can make application by combining two programming language delphi as well as c++. if you are migrating one language to another language, you do not need to wait for whole application complicate into newer language, you can run application that is written in both application and gradually migrate it.

What do you dislike about Delphi?

Very less and low user friendly documentation is being provided to developer. It uses only single CPU that make long running editor task much time consuming. Some plugin settings are stopping you to start work. One have to wait for 5-10 minutes. You must periodically save application, you don’t know when it gets crashed.

"Embercadero XE8"
What do you like best about Delphi?

Its too much flexible. The components creation and its usability is great.

We can create application faster than any other tool.

Its integration with database, BDE, is very much powerful.

The tool is much useful for cross platform applications as well.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Delphi?

The user community is less, so very poor documentation.

The IDE crashes a lot.

Code indentation is poorly visible, we need to use third party tools for it.

No runtime code change support while debugging an application. So very poor in that case when compared to visual studio for windows applications.

You are very limited with free edition of Delphi and license price is high.

Very less open source components. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
