The Delphi Community Edition should remain free as long as total sales revenue for created applications doesn't reach at least $10,000 dollars, not $5,000 dollars. If Embarcadero had done their math properly and not been so greedy. With its only truly glaring weakness is lacking support for building apps on iOS/iPhones (though it can do macOS and Android). Though not as capable as Delphi, still quite good.

Especially when they can freely download the Lazarus IDE (Free Pascal), which can also import Delphi projects. While a decent sized company with multiple developers can handle such an expense, most young individuals can't or won't pay such a cost.

Key point is that Delphi and Pascal/Object Pascal aren't the same thing.ДЇor example, depending on which software product, Delphi can cost from around $1,500 to $3,000 dollars (and up depending on options). This is why many think Delphi has died, and by incorrect association, think Pascal has died along with it. This means Embarcadero has been 'locking out' new developers and a bigger core base. Particularly for the young, hobbyist, and independent software developers. But it's way, way too expensive for a lot of the potential users. Delphi is still a very good product, that allows for cross-platform application development. With many companies, their greed has gotten in the way, where they 'can't see the forest from the trees'. The switch between using Lazarus and Delphi is relatively minor, as long as you know Pascal.ДЄfter playing with Embarcadero Delphi Community Edition and looking at how that company has handled Delphi (some say mishandled), I do think their strategy is highly flawed. Likely many hobbyists would use Lazarus, though I don't see any harm in downloading both IDEs. There appears to still be a market for Delphi (and Object Pascal) developers. Lazarus (open source) and Delphi Community Edition are here now.Дelphi is definitely an option, particularly if someone has any aspirations to program professionally. NET is still a bit of a mess and is unlikely to become truly cross-platform anytime short of the next 5 years (or maybe longer). Though Delphi (Pascal) does have some advantages, in terms of being able to make cross-platform applications for multiple OSes. As obviously, most know Microsoft, while likely to not heard of Embarcadero. This makes Embarcadero Delphi Community Edition a direct competitor to Microsoft Visual Studio Community in many ways, though not exactly.

Of course there is a bit of a catch, once your total sales revenue for created applications reaches US $5,000, or your team expands to more than 5 developers, you are expected to get the Professional Edition of Delphi. Luckily, Embarcadero has become more sensible and you can get a free community version of Delphi. And until recently, Delphi was so expensive that it was only developers with deep pockets or companies that could afford it. But what happened in the background, was the development of Lazarus, the Free Pascal Compiler, and Object Pascal.Дelphi is really just an IDE, that used a dialect of Object Pascal for the commercial purposes of Borland.

So when Borland, as a company died, many thought Pascal died with it. However, Borland Delphi was at one time so famous, that Delphi became synonymous with or replaced Pascal in the public space and minds of many. The issue with Delphi is the Pascal language is much bigger than just that name.
