Is the Borland Delphi product line still around?
Delphi is still around and very much alive, but under new ownership. Borland really lost their way. They had a really large product line, and the main thing that people were interested in was Delphi, but what the PHBs thought was going to be big was not their development tools, but their Application Lifecycle Management tools.

Is the Delphi tool still alive and kicking?
