Delphi is by far the best development experience I've ever had, which is why I'd be considered a Delphi expert (I've worked with every version but Delphi 8). However, it is becomming more and more difficult to find jobs for Delphi programmers, not to mention Delphi 8 looks and feels just like Visual Studio .net. Making the switch from Delphi to C# has not been difficult at all, as a lot of the .net components are very remenicent of the VCL.

So after many years of blissfully working with Delphi, I'm throwing in the towel and moving to C#. It's a better language than Pascal, both are doing .net these days, and it's easier to find .net jobs than Delphi. I still miss the Borland editor, but for the most part I haven't been too dissapointed.
