why Delphi ….

Today i post this comment on this page published by Jolyon Smith :

For me corss-platform is a priority, Delphi remain at now the best solution for native code under Windows. Is really that DotNet is a good architecture, but now with virtualization and cloud computing , native code can have a new sense, not only for HW Drivers but for a common application or service.
At the moment if I need to produce an application for Windows i prefer Delphi because i don’t need to have nothing on destination client ,i don’t need to know if there is DotNet or not or JDK.
About cross-platform I don’t need an IDE for Linux or Mac, only the remote debugger for me is enoght. Waht do you think about?
