Embarcadero was bought out by Idera, who has a long history of buying out niche-y software development companies and offshoring development while wringing every last possible dollar out of the now-declining carcass. If you're looking for relevance or innovation, look elsewhere.

Not sure that differs from what Embarcadero’s been doing with the devtools unit it bought from Borland for the last 15 years by much, though.

To be fair it's not like Delphi saw a bunch of innovation under Embarcadero, either.
They're the people who killed Travis too, right?
Yep.
