It's long overdue but is still crippling for the ecosystem. If you want to learn, that's great but if you want to make a business out of it then there are still too many restrictions for majority of non-Delphi developers. A revenue of $5000 prohibiting use from the Community Edition is crazy low, especially when it isn't even profit. The cheapest version of Delphi 10.2 Tokyo right now is on sale for $1,196, which means that once you hit $5k in revenue you would have to spend 20% of that revenue on licensing your IDE if you want to keep going and remain compliant.

Now, take a look at the Visual Studio Community license terms[0]. They, too, have a revenue restriction but it is $1 million but they also throw in a PC count of at least 250 PCs. Once you hit that threshold you will have to spend $499 on the lowest paid version of Visual Studio in order to keep on making your software.

That said, if one is wanting to learn Delphi then I would recommend Free Pascal with Lazarus instead as it handles cross platform easier than Delphi does and it is free.
