My SO rule:

1. I up vote any SO question that was down voted, and no reason was provided for the down vote!
2. I am not posting anymore answers on SO. The environment is too toxic. Instead I posted hundreds of answers to Delphi problems on my own website.

Delphi stories

Jan 2022 Delphi is climbing back towards Top10. Tiobe is AGAIN wrong!
Embarcadero did a good job with its Community license.

Why Borland failed?

The Borland Turbo languages were the Cat's Pajamas.
Microsoft countered with the Quick languages.
Borland made Turbo Pascal for Windows and with Objects, and then made Delphi.
Microsoft countered with Visual Basic.
Borland made Borland C++ and J Builder.
Microsoft countered with Visual C++ and Visual J++/J# and then later Visual C#. The free IDEs and Free compiler languages ate into Borland's sales. Eclipse, NetBeans, IntelliJ, BlueJ, Sublime Text, GNU C/C++, Apple Xcode, Free Pascal/Lazarus, Ruby/Ruby on Rails, Python, Code::Blocks, etc.
In 2005 Microsoft introduce Visual Studio Express, a free version of their development tools. Like Amiga, Borland had the superior technology, but cheaper/free alternatives undercut their sales. Mostly, it was the free and open source revolution that did Borland in. [orionblastar]
