I think thats exactly the problem with Delphi. Pascal is pretty much dead, and neither it nor Delphi is very sexy. C or C++ took over as the standard anywhere Pascal or Delphi were or could have been, and .NET and C# are finishing off any advantage they still had. In summary, Delphi is ignored because it's not C++ or C#. Also, Microsoft probably wants it ignored and with any position of Microsoft you can rest assured there will be a huge contingent of "developers, developers, developers" who will follow, either by choice or by being told to do so by management.
