I spent years in the Delphi ecosystem, starting with Delphi 1. In the early years, it was a great tool for building desktop apps. I haven't used it in 15+ years, but no regrets.

The $5k limit for the Community Edition is very limiting. Unless you are a student with no income, you'll hit the limit almost immediately. Even if you were to write an app for a non-profit, you'll hit the limit.
