The could have been the Jetbrains (before Jetbrains existed) and even bigger than Jetbrains.


I remember thinking back then that Jetbrains had their pricing right.

Not free but low enough so that invidual developers and companies wouldn't think twice about bying a license.

Borland/Inprise/Codegear/Embarcadero just priced themselves out of the market.


Just offload themselves to JetBrains, and have Delphi opened.


Open Sourcing Delphi along with Commercial licensing to Continue development is on my wish list if I ever become a billionaire.
