Todd:

I don't want to start a war, but I believe that it depends on the
project and the environment.  Delphi is a phenomenal product and IMO the
best WinTel development package available.  With that said, over the
past year I have moved from Delphi to Java, my customers have
requirements where they need business logic to run on multiple machines
that don't include a WinTel solution.  If I was sure that my logic was
going to be on a WinTel machine I would use Delphi for the robust
environment, however since customers are asking (demanding) for
portability I will give them Java.  Java has come a long way in the last
year, and it looks like it will continue in the future.  JBuilder 2.0 is
"head-and-shoulders" above JBuilder 1.01 and it was really good for
being the first integrated development environment that worked
completely with JDK 1.1 and the JavaBean spec.  In the future I believe
Java will replace a lot of desktop implementations... this does not even
count the number of business logic/ database logic (Server) side
development in the future.
