You're right. The IDE has grown outdated, we just need the old Delphi (no .NET stuff) with an updated IDE.

Funny enough, I can produce Delphi executables that run perfectly on Linux and Mac using Wine. That means executables that run on anything from Windows 95 to any modern desktop operating systems available today.

Why the heck did they decided to kill such a good platform.

I've moved to Java back in 2010. From my perspective was the best next thing (platform agnostic, rock-solid) but still miss my Delphi IDE to create good looking UI apps with ease.
