That is the downfall of Delphi, they didn&#x27;t adapt to market trends. When free and open source languages challenged it, they didn&#x27;t make a free version. Other FOSS IDEs came out and took away business from them.<p>Delphi was good in the 1990s and competed with Visual BASIC. Those were the salad days. Now Delphi is more of a niche market as people moved on to different languages and platforms.<p>Kylix I think was the Linux version of Delphi. It didn&#x27;t do so well.
