You can argue that Embarcadero support for .Net is better than ever. Delphi Prism is fully updated with the latest version of the framework and even includes features not available in C # .
I was a big fan of VCL.Net, so I'm kind of torn on this subject. I liked the ability to exchange library code between platforms, and the visual part of VCL.Net was better suited for client applications than Winforms.
However, with the fact that Borland (at that time) was recording functionality that duplicated what was already in Visual Studio (for example, designers), diverted resources from the native Delphi and left them constantly playing catch-up and unable to support the latest version of the framework.
Even I had to admit that current support outweighs the loss of VCL.Net. I have to say that it refreshes the use of Pascal in ASP.Net projects.
